Got word from my retailer over the weekend that an El Al 777-200 is coming in premium mode. Hey watt or anyone other person that knows starjets really well. What is this premium thing? Does that mean we gotta pay more for the planes?

Thumbs down

More often than not...when they use the term "Premium" its being used to justify a price hike by the manufacturer! Although I could be wrong I wouldn't be surprised if I'm right...also IF this "Premium" shows up with a seam on it I wouldn't pay the premium price thats gonna go with it.

Any Starjet enthusiasts care to shed some light on this?? Is there a 737 in this here "Premium" range???

Hi Boeing 74767,

Didn't you post before that we might also expect the Asiana 777-200? These posts have been removed.

Talking EL AL 777

Hi Wooji:

What I mean is I guess that Asiana B777 is coming coz that's what WATT said you will be happy when you know what's that 777!!!

I guess that's Asiana 777 that can make you so happy coz:

you have a Korean Wife
you love ASIAN jets
ASIANA 777 is not made by herpa yet!!!

but it appears now that's EL AL B777 should be the model SJ is gonna to make.

Hi Boeing 747467,
OK, now I understand! That would make me certainly happy, especially when it comes in WATT's upgraded 777 without seam.

Do you know anything about an Asiana 777 Watt?

I think you may get one of your wishes soon, namely the Emirates A330 from Herpa.

ThanksEI-DUB!

however, I am so grateful for SJ & HW that they can start producing some Twin-Widebodies for Asia because we just have all the B747 Jumbo Asian airliners now...need more small to middim Asian jets and sure more cargo airliners.
