Re: NEW RELEASE: 1:500 Herpa British Airways B 747-236B

In case you are interested to know:

The Netmodels version:

  • wrong numbers of upper deck windows
  • "in case of emergency cut out" markings wrong position & too big at upper deck
  • Wrongly engraved vertical fin of a B747SP
  • Misplaced speedmark position
  • Unused & unframed center door framed and too visible
  • Paintwork at the fin misplaced and wrong colors.
If you think, ok the Inflight 500 version is perfect, Iīm afraid it is not ....

The sample shows the correct (!) height of the window lines.
What's happened to your engines?

.... may be they are sad

Sorry, just a joke. Actually I donīt know what happened to them, but it looks like they have not been fixed correctly, possibly the glue is missing??

Re: NEW RELEASE: 1:500 Herpa British Airways B 747-236B

how they have messed up such a well-detailed model? i mean if the sample was on the right track, this purchased(?) unit is way off-course!

A sorry sight. This picture shows G-BDXO in the process of being scrapped, but you can perfectly see the cockpit size and position in relation to the upper deck door!
