 Description
  Seven examples of the in the meantime somewhat aged –200 version are operated by the Greek airline, especially for traffic to and from the numerous Aegean islands. Until 2003, they still flew under the label of the domestic subsidiary Olympic Aviation, and they still carry the original livery today. The original of this mold novelty, registered SX-BIA entered the fleet in 1993.

Model Review
  Mould and Assembly: Overall, the mould and assembly are good. The wing/fuselage mount could have been done better so as to not have the gaps that are showing.

Livery: Excellent rendition of the beautiful Olympic livery.

Details: Good job with details on this model. The only problems noted are the propellers which seem too thick and without the necessary curve and the landing gear doors which are too thick.

What's up with the Herpa color paletes, Monday, 27 July 2009

Written by ALEXAKOS   -   View all my reviews   -   Top 50 Reviewer
Herpa has created another impresive metalic model with fantastic rubber gears, nice detail and and impresive detail. I will agree with Marathon A340 about the propellers. Way to thick sepecially when you place this model next to the previous model of herpa ATR-72 SX-BII. What's even a worse diferece is the blue color that herpa used on it!! Its way too light blue and it seperates those two models from their unity. Herpa had also made several coloring mistakes with the OLYMPIC B737 OLYMPIC GAMES 2004 livery. Makes me wonder why this happens. What's with their coloring palets? Who gives out the wrong color codes? Herpa or a Rep from OLYMPIC?? Too bad after such a great effort to be waisting "points" on that.
