Description

For the classic German spotter and collector this is a must have. Though I do not live anywhere around Germany, I must say this is a very nice model. It gives you another perspective of a aircraft that is not as common as say a 737 or even Q-400. For the most part this model is detailed. There are only a few nit picky things I'm going to show to you.

Model Review
| | Mould and Assembly: The mould of this model is very good. The only thing that I would point out is that the nose could be slightly more pointed than it is now. It is a tad to stout. Also at the top back of the tail should be more of a sharp point instead of rounded. The landing gear mould should be a little more detailed than they are. Also with the height, The height of the nose gear are just a little bit too high and the top of the tires should be slightly covered. The model is a sturdy model and I don't see it falling apart with good care.
Livery: The Livery is very well done. The only thing that I noticed as off is the tail livery. Specifically the dots on the tail, they are slightly too large and some of them specifically toards the nose should be oval instead of circle like they are. Also because of that the spacing between the circles/ ovals are smaller than they should be.
Details: The detail of this model I would say are slightly higher than average. Let's start at the nose. The nose detail is good but is missing the Pilot probs. If this was here the detail would be up a notch. The cockpit windscreens appear to be the correct size and placement from my best judgment. The door and window details are great. I little bit more detail in the door wouldn't hurt either. The engine detail I think is the best part of the aircraft. They have most of the correct markings and are a great sight. The tail is very has all of the correct markings on it with the last 2 letter in the registration above the vertical stabilizers. The exhaust is good but should be more of a tan color than the shiny silver. The landing gear detail is less than stellar. It could be more detailed and the tire cover color should be more of a gray color than a white.
