Model Review
| | Mould and Assembly: Another Russian bird for the 1:500 collection - a beauty! Herpa has done exceptional work on the IL-96 series, which are quite rare, especially in the "western" world, but also in Russia and its surroundings. You can clearly recognize the short and fat stlye of the IL96, combined with the very large wings - and winglets - and its 4 engines, which makes the IL96 sometimes look like a A340. I wish every mould would be that good - Herpa would have more fans I'm sure.
Livery: Just fine - just perfect. The light gray together with the russian red-blue-white triple stripe is an eyecatcher for sure. Cockpit windows, cabin windows, logos, flags and registrations are on their place waiting for the collector to buy this gem!
Details: A rare case this is: I can't recognize details that are missing! From the large logo to the smal IL96 logo under the cockpit windows - everything is there! Can you be more happy?
