Re: Toy Fair Nuremberg 2008

The IL-96 looks like it could be released right now. From the pictures I couldn't see any flaw at all. What a great model. I hope they'll release it as shown. And next I'd like to see it in Aeroflot and Kras Air colours!

The C-160 Transall also looks like it's ready for immediate release. Can't wait to get it. It would be a very nice reminder for my one and only flight in a Luftwaffe C-160 (very nice crew!!!). Great idea!

I'm also very happy about the DC-8-71, but as Herpa is always so reluctant with classic releases, I'm afraid it'll take a long while until we see then in significant numbers... Maybe they'll release them with the fat engines as German Cargo, Lufthansa Cargo or Condor version? All these liveries would be German operators, which usually makes an easy Herpa release...

Thanks to Peter, Carlos and all the others for the latest news from Nuremberg! I know what it means to drink stale coffee and breathe bad air all day, while walking your feet flat...
