Why does it take Herpa so long to release what was announced 6 months ago?

They announced the Delta 767-300 "Habitat For Humanity" and the Alaska 737-800 "75th Anniversary" late last year...and here we are in late-April still waiting for them. Is it a production issue?

My guess is that the injection molding machines achived sentiance and rebelled against man, many have been killed and the war still rages.

Im wondering if Herpa will even bring the New NWA 757 with winglets to production that was just univeled now that the merger will make the plane obsolete before production

It's official: Delta and Northwest have merged...the only brand that will survive is Delta and NWA brand will disapear..what a shame!
Imagine: it would be great to see a 787 in NWA colours, but the 787 is indeed in delay and when time comes it will be delivered in Delta scheme!
Maybe we could see the NWA's planes in yesterday series...
