Good morning Mr.Klein, I'm happy you started this new Aero500 line, I'm curious about the model you choose: why not a new livery instead of a different reg. from the Sky500 model? I know that costs are always a valid answer but, sincerly, a "new" model maybe was better for the n.1 of a new brand: am I wrong?
Another thing is about Aeroclassics in 1:500; if this new line will be Aero500 the Spruce Goose will continue to be the only Aeroclassics model ever produced in this scale isn't it?
Good luck with your new project!

Lollo

Congratulations Mr. Klein! This is indeed the best 777 mould arround in 1/500. I'm curious about your next project: 767-200?, MD-11?, DC-8-62/63? 1-11? DC-9 family?
Best wishes and prosperity on your new range!

Good point!
Anyhow, Andrew, I'm very happy to hear that you are finally going into 1/500 scale, too. Remember we spoke about it at the last Frankfurt show... Now if you come back for the next show I'll finally have soemthing to purchase from you...

Re: New Release: Aero 500 Korean Air B777-200

Hmm, subtle differences here, I got the Sky500 version last week, the engine intakes are at a slightly different angle, and the fuselage/fin leading edge joint has a distinct curve to it..

Anyone that 'shakes up' the market and complacency amongst current manufacturers, and brings the possibility of new types being represented in 1:500 would be welcome for me.

IF500 have made a start and I look forward to more new molds from them, another player with similar ideas would certainly make these interesting times for collectors in the scale.

Thai old colors
THAI new colors
malaysia airlines
air india old colors

do you plan on other moulds? like to -200LR and the -300 family? you could do some of the above for these moulds as well!

how about other aircraft types? i would have to say that the A300 should be top priority.
