Model Review
  Mould and Assembly: The pictures below seem to show no seems whatsoever. It looks like the model has been made in one. Like no parts have been fitted together. Knowing Herpa, that won't be the case. but it does look very well made in the design and assembley of the mould. The tail seems to be the same as well. It's hard to tell that its two different parts. If I compare it to the easyJet 737-300 back from 2003-2004, you can tell the mould has seems. 6 Years later it appears they are heading in the right direction and it does look very well made.

Livery: Once again the livery is brilliant. I probably don't mention it alot, but it is probably one my favourite liveries. It appeals mainly due to the uniqueness of the livery. Some may disagree but I think it would be difficult to find a similar livery. It looks pretty much correct in every department. The birds and iguana's look great in detail and are seem correctly placed. The airline name on either side also look to intersect the fuselage. The flag and registation at the back of the aircraft seem perfect.

Details: I've already mentioned the animals in the livery but they're also a big part of the details. To bring something out this cleary in detail in such a small scale takes some doing. I think they look a lot better on this model than on Herpa's 1:500 727-200. The cockpit also looks very good. It is also important to point out the details on the wings. Correctly placed in line with the emergency doors are the emergency markings on both wings. Both look great and in good detail. Another feature on the wings are the straight black markings that run parallel with the emergency markings.

This is a great little model. Worth a place in anyone's collection. Unfortunately, there are only two AeroGal models available at the moment, the 727-200 in 1:500 and this 737-200 in 1:400. Doesn't make much of a fleet, but I bet they would go wel together. It would also go nicely in any South American fleet and even a model airport based in South America.
