Again, thanks for sharing. Keeping my fingers crossed for it to be released.

That Swiss Sun is a great A320 mold.

Thank you! And I've paid a really unbelievable price for her!
Interestingly IF500 made the same model, using Netmodels mould, with the 2007 cs logo, instead of the previous "Flot" cs logo as on the sample.

Great model Sergio, well done!

I know, "well done" for having bought it!
Expensive? I have the Inflight500 model of the "Habitat for Humanity".

Ah, ok! Sorry for my misunderstanding! Sure she wasn't expensive, I've paid $3.49 + shipping! Indeed the best deal I've ever had regarding my collection! The previous "record" was the SJ JAL MD-11 sample bought by $10. I confess I was to buy the IF500 model, then I found this one being sold as if was an IF 500 but the pics suggested something different, I've placed a bid and prayed no one would notice her.

No way. No way! Herpa actually made a sample of that!? Congratulations on finding it, mate!

Though, if i were you, i wouldn't add anything to it. Keeping it as it is is the best thing to do, i think.

Well, too late I've added the exit markings and it's appeal is much better, now it's part of my collection so she must have the same detail standard as the others.
Why should I keep her in the original shape when I don't intend to sell her? But in the very remote case I decide to sell her I can easely remove the decals without causing any damage.

Congratulations Sergio!! What a fantastic catch !

I was lucky too. I found a StarJets sample:

Iraqi 747-200 with side cargo door and nose cargo door, different to the IF500 release:

[Charter]

How many samples! This Iraqi B747-200 is wonderful, and it is a Star Jets model!!!
Great catch, was it expensive?

[TrimMarath]

Where do you guys usually buy those great samples?
The 767 for that price is just...no, no I'm not jealous...
