As quoted by Silverbird "Here are some closeup pics of the latest Herpa Air France and DW Singapore Airlines A380 models." Early morning?

The mould on the DW looks nicer... Also the windows on the Herpa are too high.... Or is it the cheatlines and the elaborate logos that make it more appealing..... Herpa is not to big on the little extras, are they?

I'd have to say thats a no-go on the Herpa, but I like how the wings are not white!

I agree with Diecastair, Dragons A380 is clearly the better. The windows sit to high, so do the wings. Even the landing gear are to tall. The nose mold for the Herpa A380 looks off to.

Yes DW is seen far better, the only complaint with DW is the frontal cockpit windows, they are small and looks weird!
In a few days I'm going to buy my first A-380, Qatar, even so DW is my choice.
Herpa not yet convinces to me.

DW looks the best. and hey you people who like gemini better when are they going to make an A380??? Something to think about.

ted320 · 04-22-2006, 10:22 PM

I think gemini might make a few maybe late 2006. (December)
But I agree with you guys, DW is clearly better.

That's exactly the point.
I have waited for the Gemini A-380 for a long time because
"Gemini Jets don't make fantasy models", and now they announce the 787!
It will not be that Airbus has licenced the A-380 in exclusive to DW
by a certain time?

A big differance, very interesting on how the two differant companies quality control, DW gets it for me

I want to see that. and if its anything like the Herpa Luthansa A380 than i'm not going to buy it. Alright Gemini its your turn.

TDOG4 · 04-23-2006, 02:26 PM

I guess will have to wait and see if Gemini Makes one or not.

waffle · 04-23-2006, 03:30 PM

Gemini will make an A380... next question.

TDOG4 · 04-23-2006, 04:05 PM

whats there next type of plane theyll make.

To me these small pictures aren't enough to judge which one will be better, the Herpa or the Dragon model.

For instance: I like DW's front undercarriage better (seems more realistic), but I find the Herpa wing attachment (or whatever it's called) to be more accurate than the one on the DW model (which seems too 'thin' to be in scale).

See what I mean?
