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.

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. |

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.

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. |

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. |

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:

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! https://www.aviation-center-berlin.de/p/527484 |

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
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).

Very nice printing, but the red stripe and the windows are much too low. Sad, but still a nice model. http://www.wings900.com/vb/attachmen...1&d=1501704550 http://www.wings900.com/vb/attachmen...1&d=1501704550 LH's A350 now with town name "Nürnberg". http://www.wings900.com/vb/attachmen...1&d=1501704801 A normal Lufti with nice printing and a grey sat dome. Btw the new A346 has a grey one too. http://www.wings900.com/vb/attachmen...1&d=1501704801 One of my favortite Herpa models in a loooong time, the really wonderful A330 Oman. Great model and great livery. http://www.wings900.com/vb/attachmen...1&d=1501704801 http://www.wings900.com/vb/attachmen...1&d=1501704801 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. http://www.wings900.com/vb/attachmen...1&d=1501704801 http://www.wings900.com/vb/attachmen...1&d=1501704801 |

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. |

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=1507322792 http://www.wings900.com/vb/attachmen...1&d=1507322785 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
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
Quote:
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
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!
|
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. |

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. |

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

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=1535746743 https://www.wings900.com/vb/attachme...1&d=1535747695 https://www.wings900.com/vb/attachme...1&d=1535746756 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. https://www.wings900.com/vb/attachme...1&d=1535746809 And two Finnair I finally found for a good price. https://www.wings900.com/vb/attachme...1&d=1535746821 https://www.wings900.com/vb/attachme...1&d=1535746829 https://www.wings900.com/vb/attachme...1&d=1535746837 https://www.wings900.com/vb/attachme...1&d=1535746846 |
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!!
