It is, it's got the blended winglets, those were delivered with LEDs. The older E-170s and -175s with the straight-up winglets did not. Although some got retrofitted with the blended winglets. I am almost sure all of SkyWest's E-175s came with LEDs.

I don't care too much either. I think the praise those little pieces of translucent plastic get can be too much, and that annoys me a bit, but we know what they say about opinions. Hey, I am someone who proudly displays Phoenix 747s if they wear my favorite liveries, and I would do the same...

This is actually a good example. My Gemini200 E-170s have red jewels, and this is correct for those airframes. However, the newer E-175 in your photo is equipped with LEDs in real life.

LED beacons don't have the bright red cap of "normal" anti-collision lights. On the 787, the top and bottom anti-collision lights (AKA rotating beacons) only look red when lit. When not flashing they are an unsuspecting dark spot. Photo from Reddit: I'm not home now, but looking at...

Thanks… To be fair, the longer flicker on the LED beacons has made beacon shots super easy to get, so diorama spotters could benefit from the permanently on LED beacons of AV400.

He has come down on some of the least popular models. He’s also getting IF from a distributor, so he’s got those at market price.

This one belongs in the 1/200 batch.

Did you keep retailing their models?

I remember when uniform leather jackets were in style in the U.S. Mesa was the first airline I worked for that had them. When I joined, they had just recently changed the logo, but I requested one of the ones that still had the old logo on the inner liner. A very cool, classic logo. I'm very...

As an avid nostalgic, I would say that we are not blinded, we can see the detail level of today. What a lot of us are is influenced by nostalgia. The turn of the millennium was a turning point. Three-man crew airframes, as well as tri-jets went from dominating airports to almost extinct in...

Thanks, the Continental Connection one is an old Herpa, it is super tail heavy, and has those messed up side cockpit windows. I thought about replacing it with the recent JC, but the latter wasn't a huge improvement. The recent GJ AE is a nice model, but it does not have the sharpest finish. It...
