Re: Something weird going on with shipping fr Germ

I have the same problem the other way round. Ordered from the US and it took the USPS two weeks to even get the model on a plane from Atlanta. Weird!

Re: Restoring a Herpa Lufthansa Model Edition B744

How do you whiten up the model with salon cream? What brand do you use? Would it work with an assembled model? Sounds super interesting for all of us who have yellowed models.

Re: Regional Snapshots - What I Cannot Wait For

Regional airliners are way underrepresented in 1/400.

I would love to see Gemini/JC make a Saab 340 Crossair, an ATR 42-300 NFD and an ATR 42-500 in Air Tahiti's old colours.

Re: B747-212B Garuda Indonesia Airways Hybrid 9V-S

The windshield looks a bit odd, i.e. a tad too high. Other than that the model looks fantastic.

Re: Herpa releases 05/06 2021

BTW, D-ABYD lost its sat dome in the late 1970s so Herpa's drawing is accurate.

Re: Herpa releases 05/06 2021

Interesting detail, Alex. But may it be possible that the larger wheels were not installed on the early 747-200Bs? This picture of D-ABYD appears to show wheels similar in size to the 100:

Re: The NG South African 747SP release.

The NG Models 747SP will excel all other SP moulds, which are mediocre at best. That's crystal clear already.

As soon as Pan Am, Qantas, Luxair or TWA become available I'll jump on the bandwagon.
