those don' sound too great and the only one I would be half way interested in is the Air Pacific 742. Hopefully there are some planes better than those.

Wheres the Air New Zealands at that were due out?? As you can see I'll go nuts if they dont release them!! Hopefully this isnt official. And back to the subject, these as always suck again and were showered with Euro planes, despite the Air Pacific 747-200 and Royal Australian Air Force 707. Those two are pretty cool and I will buy them.

Sounds so boring. Hope these new releases are not true..... despite the Air Pacific 742. The rest, I will give them a pass. Looks like I will save some money around early part of the New Year.

Was hoping to see an SQ 773 or some MH planes. Probably some other interesting livery, too many to mention. But those list by FD above are way to boring to actually desire for them.

Talking NICE !!

FAUCETT L1011!!! I can´t beleive it. That´s smashing!!

B737-800 Hapag Lloyd winglets - NICE!

B747-200 Air Pacific - NICE!

Buzz, and the others are nice too.

I don´t think they are boring at all and will most probably get all of them!

Well done!

The America West is the 757 Phoenix Cardinals only available via the America West shop.

There may be another but I know the Cardinals is a sure thing.

The Air Pacific and Faucet Peru will be nice...glad to see Herpa continuing to bring diversity to the table (although enough already with the Lufthansa and Swissairs)

That plane doesnt exist.
It made a tail strike in the hanger, and was a write off.

Sweet! Great to see the 757 in the new colours, and new generation too!!! I would say an America west A319 would be cool too, but only after they fix that god-awful nose. Now unless StarJets makes one...

I'd go for an AWA A319 by SJ but not one in that awful Herpa mould.

It was not a tail strike. If I 'member correctly, N908AW was up on jacks and a mechanic didn't properly place the jack ,that was holding up the nose, in the right place. N908AW collapsed on the floor with the jack going through the nose section all the way through the cabin. Ouch! 'Twas a write off indeed.

Ouch! Anybody have a picture of that AWA accident?

The New Generation Herpas aren't too bad. I like the 707's so far. Don't know about getting the cars though. Aren't too many MB's and BMW's in Waxahachie. When will the Texas accessories edition with Ford 150's, Chevy Suburbans, and Chrysler Minivans be available?

I would swear I've seen that Cardinals scheme taxiing either here at Orange County or at Phoenix. It did fly, right, but you're saying it's now down?

Wrong. N908AW is still flying. I looked up pictures of it on Airliners.net and the most recent one was taken in September. Also I looked on the Commercial Jet Aircraft Census website and I got this information:

24233 244 B757-2G7 RB211-535E4 08/25/89 AMERICA WEST AIRLINES N908AW

So apparently she is still flying!

What ugly looking cars and trucks. I suspect anyone could make those with a few pieces of plastic and some glue. I'm not going to pay an arm and a leg for that crap.

heh carmy!

but at least Herpa is 'logical' enough to release these cars and tracks. Maybe they should release floodlights!

Another thing, I really like the Delta Shuttle! It' sleek!

Me737,

The mold and landing gear are wrong and look terrible.

Whether I would be capable of making something better is irrelevant. Starjets already does.

Angry 757 is Good!

Yes the Delta is bad! The Airbus stuff is awfull ! Why couldnt herpa leave the fuselage part of the old version and just do the new gear? What were they thinking. However the 757 looks great they didnt FFFUUUUCCC*** it up like the airbus stuff thank god! The 757 is probably Herpas best mold.

I find that Herpa is too self-conscious.They always do things German related.... Just look at their GSE! Most of them are to be found only in German airports. Now look at their cars, all of German origins.

And mistakes after mistakes, they still don't learn their lesson. Is Herpa getting worst as time pass?? Should we tell this to Herpa?? Are they not getting any feedback about their performance??

German companies do German things... In all reality they don't need collectors to keep them going. They do thing the way they want to when they want to whether we like it or not.

You implied my saying wrong. They made what type of airplane when they want to whether you like it or not thus making the saying they dont listen to you.
