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.
well, i hope they become standard details.

wasn't the EVA produced a long time ago? when we were only beginning to see the extra details like passenger window frames?

as for the CX, i really think CXcitement deliberately left out the extra details to make their sales more profitable. i mean their price has remained fixed whereas those of the regular herpas have increased. i could only assume they were able to do so by deliberately leaving out some imprints, making production cost relatively stable. otherwise, we would have seen the 77W with the added details, just like the historic models, albeit priced at around USD40 each!.
