1/500 scale regrets
Well, I'm back from Bora Bora (airport pictures coming soon...), so I'd figure I'd start a new question topic.
If you had to discard a 1/500 scale herpa wings or starjets in your collection, which one would it be and why? (This is another way of asking what is your least favorite model that you actually own...)

My least favorite would have to be my UA A319. I won't get rid of it, though. the ones I would get rid of is my MALEV F70 or MEA 742. I got these as part of a starter set. (not the ua, tho) the MEA's tail fin is signifiently bent to one side and can't be moved. its solid. arrr. the MALEV is okay but I don't really have any intrist in that airline and my airport doesnt wanna except it.

My least favourite model is the Herpa Club 747SP in fantasy colours. I had just started collecting and joined the club and ordered the all still available club models without thinking.
It never leaves the box I absolutely hate it and will trade it as soon as I get the chance. |

No, thats not it, the Hong Kong model is bright yellow with blue wings, its foul! My least favourite model that I have is probably the Frankfurt Main 747-400 NG, its a fantasy. JAUK....

My least favorite would be the Continental 777 the Lufthansa 744, and the BA744"Scotland.Why???because when I compare them to all the nice Star Jets and Herpa NG's on my airport,they look like crap.Plus, the CO777 and Lfh744 will be out in Herpa NG......which I would love to have but, what would I do with the 2 non-newgeneration Herpa's???? But when it comes to models I REALLY regret is the LOT Polish Airlines 767-200 i got 3 years ago, not only did it come with a loose gear, fin and a scrach on the Herpa belly, but it looked like real crap.The mold of the OG 767 is EXTREMLEY BAD!!!!!

Hey VCEcollector!
Don't you know there are women and children (well, at least children) that view this site? It was completely unnecessary to post such indecent material in this forum!!! However, I must say, that is one butt ugly model!!! I bet you couldn't pay anyone to take that one off your hands!!!  |

Going out of topic guys....
Anyways, my least favourite model in my collection is the A300-600ST "Beluga #3". When I bought it I said WOW! But since I swithched to collecting aircraft that come to HK. I disliked it. But then my collection is a collection so. I love them all! Including my beluga.
