Some errors

ID#8685:
ID#8685 has got the wrong reg. It says 71-0882, but from what i can see it says 1682 on the models tail.
InflightLE 1:200 United States Air Force DC-9-32 (VC-9A) - Wings900 ID# 8685

But if it really does say 0882 the manufacturer has made a misstake as that reg belongs to a C-9A Nightingale.

So either way, something is wrong.

ID#19376:
I think this one has the wrong picture.

Jet-X 1:400 Eastern Airlines L-1011-1 - Wings900 ID# 19376

Picture of 19376 removed.

I couldn´t find any information on ID 8685.
ACB is known to use similar (but not the correct) pictures. I think you are right and the picture shows 73-1682 (ID23401).
I will remove the pictures, but I can´t say if the model with reg 71-0882 existed or not and where the error is...

The error i was thinking of is, if the model shown in ID#8685 has got the reg 71-0882 then the manufacturer has placed the wrong reg on it as that is/was reg of a C-9A, a casevac plane to my knowledge, and the model is a VIP VC-9A.

I know what you mean, but I actually think that this model does not exist at all.

ARD refers to INUSAFVC-9A as "USAF 31682", so may be it was initially anounced with the incorrect registration and later corrected and finally released as IF932027.

So it could be a non released model. I see.

I discovered some more errors in the db. These aren't that big of a deal, but assuming we're aiming for a 100% accurate database, i thought i'd mention them.

ID#21584 is listed as an A310-222 without wingtip fences while the real one is, and allways has been, a -204 with wingtip fences:

1990:

2004:

2007:

And before anyone asks, it is the same plane in all the pics.

Db entry updated. Thanks!

Just took a look at PSA models and these two caught my attention:

1. Inflight200 1:200 PSA L-1011-1 - Wings900 ID# 17039. Just a little observation, but it doesn't look orange to me.

2. The livery on ID#7831 is fake. That reg never flew in pink colours, but then again, none of them did.

Remarks updated. Thanks for the hint!

I just noticed that the reg for ID#32860 is wrong. It's supposed to be RA-96102 as prooven by mmu69s pictures.

Faucett Peru · 08-02-2012, 12:28 AM

In the "NEW RELEASE" thread it says: (RA-96101) Registration to be confirmed.

mmu69 go the model, took the pictures and added them to the db.

The registration is also corrected to RA-96102:

Herpa 1:500 Atlant-Soyuz Airlines IL-96-400T - Wings900 ID# 32860

I will also update the "NEW RELEASE" thread.

Oh. My bad. I forgot to check the db entry.

Flight fan · 11-03-2012, 08:49 AM

Just took a look through the database and found these errors:

1.Herpa 1:200 Aeroflot Tu-154B2 - Wings900 ID#24901 is infact a Tu-154M, not a B2 which it's listed as.

2.Tex Models Customs 1:500 Aeroflot-Nord TU-154M - Wings900 ID# 33596 is infact an Aeroflot-Don Tu-154M, and not an Aeroflot-Nord.

Fixed. Thanks!!

Found another one: ID#13269 is a McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II, not a Mitsubishi F-2A as those were based on the F-16 Block 40.
