Model Review
  Mould and Assembly: This is a limited edition.
The mould look really good overall. Much better than the square fuselage of the old StarJets mould.
The nose is almost correct and the seamline between the wings and the fuselage in not that big.
But on the downside the engines look horrible. They look all wrong and does not represent the real engines at all. And the this is a real drawback for this model.

Livery: This is an interesting livery. A campaign bird.
I think it could have been done better. It doesn't look right. I can't really put my thumb on what it is. Perhaps it is the terrible engines that are the cause for this. The colours do look alright and so does the window line.
So overall it look good.

Details: The level of detail is ok if you compared to other Herpa models. But I want more details. I would like more probes, warning texts, warning lines etc. But overall the level is ok.
