Perhaps oneday we may see KA models made by Herpa, but i hope like with the newest A330, they start adding registrations and the added OneWorld and SWIRE markings.
CXcitement seems a very 'reasonable' shop. i mean they sort of listen to a lot of the collectors. in recent years, they have been releasing more models (the 742 SOHK and cargo models for example were not for general sale previously), and improving on a lot of existing models (new imprints, registrations, etc.). so i know if they would have their way, they would do the same to the KA models.

would anyone here know if maybe KA is still under contract with Lysia? and perhaps that is the reason why their models are still made in a different manner from the CX models? maybe KA signed a contract with them just prior to the merger?
