MMP-Ace Pix
 

Hello @ all,

from time to time I want to share some pictures of my collection with you here.

First of all I need some tips. Do you think Photobucket is the best for uploading pictures here? And do I have to resize the Pics? Thank you!

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Look who finally decided to join the party.

I use photobucket, I think most of the collectors do too. Mine resize automatically, but post some and we'll see if yours do too.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Ciao and welcome in the club, finally.
I use Photobucket and i am really satisfied; i resize the pics when i work them with photoshop and then i upload them on Photobucket.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Nice, can't wait to see your collection rock and rollin' all night and partying every day :lol:

I also use Photobucket but I always resize my pictures to 1024px or 800px before posting here.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

That gives lots of cudos my friend!! :punk:

So here is the first pic and the first question: Which one is the LR? ;)

http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/s...2019.49.33.jpg

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Easy, the left one. The right one looks like Delta cramped all 291 seats between doors 1 and 2.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

:lol: :tt2:
exactely!

Herpa NG1 777 is so much better than Herpa NG2 777!
The only good stuff about the NG2 are the better detailed GE90 and the laterally inserted wings.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

I also love the increased detail of the PW4000 & Trent 800 engines! Oh wait...

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

This is an excellent picture that makes very clear how important details are. The front gears of herpa or hogan labelled 1:500 scale B777 were always too slim. herpas latest B777-toolset (I don’t want to speak about »new generation 3« because I see no mould evolution) has furthermore too tiny front gear wheels and a slightly too short front gear. IMHO the JC-Wings (Sky500) B777-toolset reproduces the heavy front gear of the real B777 much better. The Aero500 gears are pretty good too. They are slightly too short but all-metal and even rolling. I don’t see why herpa can’t pay more attention to right scaled and right positioned gears. These gears issues run through nearly all of herpas model lines (among others Airbus A320-family, Airbus A330/A340, Embraer-family). After all right scaled gears were originally the trademark of »new generation« herpa wings.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Stop being so picky over every little detail and be glad we are getting the models we are. Don't like them? Don't buy them. Some of the stuff I've seen complained about is so small it really shouldn't matter.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

exactly, sometimes I dont even see the thing people are complaining about, when I put them in my diorama I dont even see such tiny tiny mistakes.....:rolleyes:

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

But he does make a valid point. While the nose gear's width is not something of my concerns, I can certainly notice my recent B777-200ER purchases are angled downwards. With Herpa's ever-increasing prices, one has the right to complain about these issues. I am extremely bothered with the €32 pricetag on the Delta 777-200ER, which doesn't even feature the correct engines.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

If we all weren't picky, Herpa would still be selling OG models today :rolleyes:

I agree with Getifero, but actually the NG1 777 gears (the 777-200LR) are simply fine in my opinion. I don't like metal gears at all (plastic is much easier to fix if broken and the always seem to be better shaped) and I find Sky500 777 gears to be the most poorly-done gears of all :lol:
I agree that the NG2 (there's no NG3 as far as I know) have several problems, and one of them is the landing gear set: front nose gear is indeed too short and slim, the wheel is too small, the main landing gears should be a little bit shorter too. All these gear problems make the 777 have an unlevel fuselage, with nose down and tail up, and this problem wasn't present on NG1 777.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Better is the enemy of good and herpas current B772 could easily be the least good 772 with »scaled gears« in 1:500. If you can’t tell the differences or simply idealize your beloved models that in your eyes look perfect on your little diorama its fine with me. I’m not criticizing you and your models and I’m not giving anybody any advises what models to buy or not to buy. I love my models too, but I am able to compare and look beyond the horizon of herpa wings and 1:500-scale. That herpa more than any other manufacturer in the past had been compelled to make mould and printing corrections shows clearly that cost and quality control had not always been coordinated carefully enough. And I’m firmly convinced that without critical customer-feedback some of those quality corrections would not happened at all.

You have to be pretty brutal to break metal gears. From time to time I buy 1:400 models. Gemini Jets have quite a poor quality in terms of assembly control. New out of factory models come with loose wings or wrongly pasted gears. But those gears are very easily to remove and replace correctly. And if an even in 1:400-scale still very tiny CRJ700 or E190 has much better detailed metal gears than a herpa made A330 or a B777 in 1:500-scale nobody can tell me that herpa is trying their hardest. The purpose of plastic gears is not to be easier repaired but to reduce production costs.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

I totally agree with you on the 777 btw, it should be straight, not like a a330 :confused:.
But I was also refering to other posts in threads that were about the smallest mistakes (e.g. no doorhandles printed, a mistake in arabic text) that do not break the immersion of the model, but are just noticed by the veteran-collectors. And some put it like it was a major screw up by Herpa or that it is "the worst model ever", and that kinda bugs me sometimes... ;)

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Both Delta 777 are a piece of gold if you compare it with this this for exapmle:

https://www.aviation-center-berlin.d...p3/iI92ciL.jpg

Lets hope they change it before it comes out...

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Isn't the Delta B777-200ER release similar to this Alitalia?

Nose down, pointy nose, skinny nose gear, huge GE90 engine almost touching the ground... That's the NGII 777.

This Iraqi Airways was the worst i've seen. The crooked engines are the cherry on the top of the cake!

If you are asking, who is this stupid guy who buys all these LH A380 with different registrations... It's me... :D

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

LOL, at least I'm not alone in thinking about the same thing for my collection :lol:
Although, you have a head start on me. :envy::envy:

My original plan was to collect LH A380s named after cities I've been to. Yikes, I quickly realized that means NYC, SFO, FRA, HAM, BER, MUC, TYO and VIE. Revised plan is to add NYC and HAM.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Beautiful fleet of Lufthansa A380's! There are many crazy collectors around...:lol:.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Nice addition with the WiFi Antenna and, thats even better, nice 787 engines...

Nice 787. I will wait for my first 787-9 when Qantas will receive it's first one and when Herpa will release that :)

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Oh yes I want this too. And I love the "new roo". Very well done. })

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Now that's a well done model with the increased detail of the Wi-Fi dish and the engine teeth fixed.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

A new kid on the block. I'm still thinking to complain about the front doors. Not that nice.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Yes the front passenger doors are tilted somewhat forwards and downwards (if this is what you mean; the printings of both front passenger and exit doors look a bit blurred on your picture). But otherwise I am pleased with my Hawaiian A332 (since she landed with intact gears and without fragmentary printings).

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Wonderful fleet my friend...you're not the only one who collects LH A380s...I have AIMA, AIMB, AIMC, AIMH, AIMI, AIMJ, AIML and AIMN ;) in both scales, ofcourse!

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Oh Herpa... You might be better off buying decals and apply them instead of the original door!

Very nice printing, but the red stripe and the windows are much too low. Sad, but still a nice model.

And last but not least a nice Norwegian model, but it has, again, a different type of red, so the three released 787 (2x -8, 1x -9) have all different red color.

Great photos of the new arrivals! Could you perhaps compare the 787-9 with the other Norwegian models? Perhaps the 737 or the other 2 787-8s?

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Thanks! The difference with the 737 is huge, I hope for a 737 re-release. Perhaps with Irish registration. Which 787-8 did you use for the comparison? LNA or LNB? LNA has a 'better' shade of red.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Yes, it is LNA... :-)

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Wow. The difference is huge on the Lufthansa A321s. I'm impressed Herpa.. You've come a long way. Excellent additions and thanks for sharing!

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

The difference between the LH A321 moulds is indeed impressive!
The new one is so much better.
Even if I find that horizontal bar at the nose gear very weird. It's too big.

The DC-10 cockpit windows are better than the Starjets MD-11 ones, which are too big.
While the DC-10 mould looks pretty nice, the gears are simply too high. Really unaccurate... Aero500 DC-10 wins! :D

Anyway, great models and great pictures! Congrats on your new arrivals! :envy:

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Thank you @ both!

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Are the landing gears of the NGVII A321 made of plastic? Or they're made of metal?

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Definitely plastic... ;-)

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Thanks for sharing your news and fleet. The An-22 is really beautiful and well done and i agree with your about the Oman Air A330-300 (waiting for the B737-800WL).
Nice also the Air Seychelles A320, while i agree about the much better nose section of the A320 family new version.
Sadly Norwegian models have different shades of red: it is a red-red (to say that it has not shades, it is a normal red!) so i don't understand why Herpa is not able to reproduce a normal shade of red on the nose section of these models!
It seems that Herpa DC-10 and StarJets MD-11 have about the same nose section/cockpit windows, the MD-11 has a shorter nose landing gear.
Thanks again to find the time to share your fleet and you beautiful pics and comperisons, positive rep. added.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Thanx for your nice words! })})

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

I received some news today and there's rain and sunshine. I looooooove the new Air Canada, which is really perfect. And the Nepal Airlines is beautiful too. BUT: I was REALLY loking foward to the A332 Iran Air, because I like the design and I can see it at Hamburg Airport.

The nose is much too much too much pointy and the cockpit windows are much too high. We had this already with models which have a printing under them. A name or whatever. I have to admit I am really angry about that look. I will definatley send it back. :(

Take a look:

http://www.wings900.com/vb/attachmen...1&d=1507322777

Okay it's not that sharp but it's about the ugly pointy nose.
http://www.wings900.com/vb/attachmen...1&d=1507322769

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

I agree. Will be interesting to compare the Iran A330 with the KLM A330.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Yes that's true. But I didn't buy the KLM. What I can say is that the A333 are much much better at the moment. For ex the Oman A333 is a real beauty.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

I hope mine drops by somewhere next week. While I don't think the nose will be different from the Iran Air, perhaps the window line is. At least the Iran A330's windows aren't placed as high as the Sky500 Air Transat A330-200.. That was horrible!

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Another, better, Pic of my Pinocchio:

http://www.wings900.com/vb/attachmen...1&d=1507326078

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

That A330 looks bad indeed. Nose too pointy and cockpit windows too high.
The one they got at ACB seems to have a correct cockpit window position... the nose is still pretty pointy though, but that's a mould related flaw.

https://www.aviation-center-berlin.de/p/530569

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Yes. So true. BUT: This one is from ACB too. I really believe Herpa is using at least two different moulds and it's luck or bad luck what you will get. Maybe one mould was broken and they fixed it bad. We had that problem with some 747-400 some years ago. I will check some of them in Hamburg next week. THIS ONE goes back to ACB.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Loving the Nepal A320! Can't wait to get one.
But yes, such a shame on that pointy nose! :(

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

I'll try to scout the differences next time I'm at the Megastore.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Nice looking models! The Kuwait Airways 777 is great. I don't like very much this new huge cockpit window Herpa is using for the 777, but it doesn't ruin the model :)

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Both models look great! I love the Qatar A350 with the wingbox prints, while the Kuwait 777 is also a colourful model!

I am VERY disappointed about the Emirates. The nose is much too pointy AND the cockpit windows are not straight but look upwards. I will definitely send this one back. What still is soo sooo strange to me: ACB's preview pics look okay and my last 777, the Ukraine, is not that pointy. It really looks like Herpa uses at least two moulds.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Herpa's NGII 777 mould is a mess now.

Noses are really pointy, cockpit windows are too big or even misplaced (just like yours).
GE90 seems to be too big, or at least to sit too low.
Main landing gears too long, makes the plane look like a Kangaroo ready to hop.
Nose gear too thin and often inclined forward (A320/MD-11 style).
And finally: GE90 only option! :evil::evil::evil:

NGI mould (see British Airways 777-200ER) was perfect. The only drawback were the wings, which weren't laterally inserted.

NGII at the beginning was also very nice (see TAM 777-300ER release), but nowadays is really bad.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Thanks for sharing and for the comments, but what about the TUI UK B757-200WL?

Great models! The Icelandair 757 duo is really wonderful. The Norwegian 737 looks very nice too, finally with the bright red :)

American DC-10 is not bad, but I really would prefer the Aeroclassics mould.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Nice models!!
I would get both Icelandair and Norwegian, too.
But, are the nose gears of two Icelandair 757 in the opposite direction?

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

The Hekla Aurora gear is backwards :lol:

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Looks like they A. corrected the nose gear on the 757 and B. the colour on the 737. Great additions to anyone's fleet, and excellent photgraphy as well.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Thanx for the nice comments. I already knew about the Hekla front gear. Herpa needs some weeks to change it...

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Some news arrived today. I am very disappointed about the El Al 787-9, they messed up the cockpit windows, they are much to low and the 787 has a really strange look now. I will send it back.

You gotta give it to 'em. That's one big f*ck up on the El Al 787.. Your pictures are wonderful as always, and I can say the same for the Air Canada Rouge 767 and Thai 787.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Pity on the 787.
But the Air Canada Rouge 767 looks great.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

El Al 787 looks bad indeed :cry::cry::cry:
AC Rouge 767 is awesome, and Herpa is also debuting a larger cockpit window.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Do we know for a fact that its all the El Al 787s produced or just this individual?

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

We do know. All of them have this. ;-)

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

I just got mine today. I can tell its lower but it doesn’t look that bad as compared to the one on this post. Ill get pictures later.

Again, I can tell mine is wrong too but It doesn't look too bad in my opinion. Especially from a distance. Here it is compared to the gorgeous Qantas 787-9.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Some nice additions. The A320 mould has come a long way from where it was, as evident in your airberlin photo.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Starjets 747 beats the sh*t out of that Herpa/Sky500/Netmodels mould :cool:

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Thanks for sharing. The Air Berlin is my favourite (as it is the only one with regular livery).

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

It REALLY does... :D


Thanx for the comments. })

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Lovely additions.
Any idea which has the correct window scale?
Noticed that both have a noticeable difference in window size.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Arrived today; I like it:

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Looking nice, too bad Sky500 re-released an Etihad A330 EXPO livery along with this.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Really bad. "Of course" I didn't buy this one.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Not bad model by Sky500. Might consider getting one... Disappointed with the Etihad release though

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Some new news and two old news arrived today:


The A310 is made quite well, maybe the stripe a bit too high, but it's okay, here in comparison with the Aeroclassics DC-10; I think the blue is better on Herpa's.

https://www.wings900.com/vb/attachme...1&d=1535746761


Somehow I thought I need this model and livery, but I stilll don't know why. It's quite ugly, isn't it????

https://www.wings900.com/vb/attachme...1&d=1535746767


VERY beautiful AND important!!!

https://www.wings900.com/vb/attachme...1&d=1535746774


Quite nice but Herpa forgot the thin lines on the wings. The normal livery with the white wings (-001) has it. This one should have it too.

https://www.wings900.com/vb/attachme...1&d=1535746784


https://www.wings900.com/vb/attachme...1&d=1535746792


A true beauty and the highlight for me in this batch. :tt1:

https://www.wings900.com/vb/attachme...1&d=1535746800


Which one is the shorter one? Yes, an easy question.

And two Finnair I finally found for a good price.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Nice new models! Your KLM A310 looks nice, better than the one showed at ACB website.
Your A310 seem to have a nice nose section. And it's a great classic release.

The Joon A320 is an ok model. The livery is so simple and boring... but we can't blame Herpa :lol:

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Great arrivals, thanks for sharing.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Great adds!

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

The KLM A310 seems to just have missed the sweet spot on the cheatline, a shame but then again knowing Herpa it could be worse. I love the KLM Asia, great release that'll surely fit my collection.

The Joon A320 has indeed an ugly livery, and I love it. The Alitalia A320 looks very good, Herpa has had difficulties with glossy paint in the past. The highlight I think is the beauty that is the Qatar A350-1000. Great mould, a step up from the old A359 mould.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

Oooh very nice additions! Love the KLM A310.

Re: MMP-Ace Pix
 

WOW, really like your Qatar and KLM birds...so stunning!!
