Really Cool!, Tuesday, 06 May 2008
With just a couple of things that need correcting (most importantly the tail engine inlet) this model is really cool. A classic livery of a classic plane of a classic American airline. Just too cool not to check out and you won't want to miss this one if you are into Mad Dogs.

  Interesting model but..., Monday, 05 May 2008
With some mould issues that can be easily overlooked, this model is a pretty neat addition to Herpa's growing catalog of metal 1:200 scale models. The livery issue (color) should also be easy to overlook. But I can't stop thinking that in order to turn this model into a great model one has to do just that though - forget about its shortcomings. Don't let that stop you though, a retro livery and an airplane that have disappeared from the sky are always worth looking at.

  A big plane for those who have room to display it, Wednesday, 16 April 2008
A huge model. Make sure you have room for it and the box. Even if it is a pseudo-fantasy model as one has not entered service yet, the level of detail along with the accuracy of the details/livery/gear do make this a nice model.

  Interesting livery..... but, Monday, 14 April 2008
It seems that the small problems did add up rather quickly. An interesting airplane and a cool livery to boot. This model is worth a look, but it is not one of Herpa's best effort in this domain.

  A Really Cool Plane From Another Time, Sunday, 06 April 2008
A really nice bird from another century. If you are into prop liners or Continental, this one will make a nice centerpiece of any display. Although prone to a little discoloration, this model is really a nice reproduction of a classic airliner in classic colors from a classic era.
