Re: Question about Herpa's latest version of 77W Air France

F-GSQN is the best AF 77W so far, but still the bottom side of the wing should be two tone, not all gray. The second version of F-GSQA had the correct colors but no escape marking on the wing. I think these markings are a must and hope Herpa would make them standard.

Little note on Herpa's 747-400 F-GITC with latest logos, as far as I know, the actual plane still has the old 'Groupe Air France' logos, so Herpa should have done F-GISE or one of the updated 744. For now, this F-GITC is a fantasy model

Yes I wholeheartedly agree with you about wings escape markings to become Herpa's standard. From what I remember (correct me if I am wrong), they only appeared on some of those Japan Official (ANA) Models.

Later on, they were added to some exclusive 77Ws like SQ, JAL and AF F-GSQN. More recent 77Ws that come with regular Herpa box do not have these markings ie. Air Canada and Etihad. Neither do the other two exclusive Ws : CX and Eva Air (Waving Ribbon) have them.

Hope Herpa will not forget those details anymore in the future. Thanks for reminding me about F-GITC as well as F-GSQA/N wings, I really never checked the difference at the bottom side of their wings.
