Well, many thanks for the comparison, good catch, even if you contributed to increase my anger towards Herpa. The livery of Herpa model is completely wrong, it can be added to the many "fantasy models"!

Re: Herpa breaking news.

Wow. I am SO SO SO DISAPPOINTED. I was so looking forward to this model in the new Saudia colors and I thought that given the new color Herpa would be able to do it right.

This is such a disaster. The color is even more wrong this time as the new Saudia color is much more cream now.

Re: Herpa breaking news.

That 747SP is Herpa.

Anyway, congrats Herpa for ruining another model.
They are really, really bad lately.

Delayed models, wrong colors, broken models, ugly moulds, bad printing. What in the name of blue hell is going on???

Its too bad that passionate collectors like us cant go be their quality control managers and model designers. If chose what was made and made sure it was right I think, no know, things would be better.

Re: Herpa breaking news.

Don't forget about Herpa's hoary old chestnuts like old moulds of 735, ATRs... I think that they probably have some kind of $ problems :/

Re: Herpa breaking news.

Well guys, if you now think the Herpa models are so bad in all different ways. Why do you still buy the herpa models? From my point of view it seems quite weird and stupid to first go out telling everybody how bad the herpa model is and that you hat it in that and that way. but then you how ever buy the model to your collection, and after a time "pretends" to love it. So if you still going to buy the model, why put up so much bad comments about it????

I think so too. But we don't really dare to talk about it as Herpa is the Backbone of the Hobby.

If I don't like the model, I don't buy it. Period. I didn't buy ANY of those "Hamster-faced" A320 -21 -19 called NG 1. I didn't buy this silly looking Tu214 Transaero and I will not buy this wrong colored Saudia. I wanted it, now it looks wrong, I don't buy it. Its easy.

Because some models are still good, and (in my case) because sometimes we can fix the mess Herpa does.
