In fact the number of bought models exceeds the number of times I've been asked this question.😅 On a more serious note... I know where and how these models are made. I'd never expect the level of color/livery accuracy I'd demand from myself when working on a project. What decides about me...

This would be version 5. 8101 - like most others - was delivered in Boeing's standard painting pattern but quite a few operators opted to paint the lower belly grey for better corrosion protection/FOD detection. That said, I wonder if we'll ever see a correctly done 747-130 "as delivered". I've...

JAL 747s were delivered with all white stabs. So either doing satcom/all white or no satcom/corogard would be consequent. I'm not saying this didn't exist, but I'd have made it consequent. Edit: now that I'm looking through some pics, I see you could easily make four variants.

Make this three versions and without looking any deeper into it, I think HX mixed two (not the reg pos.)

THIS Stand alone a 100% deal killer for me (among other things)

I'd have been surprised if not as SQ/HX/.... obviousely go through the same hands, consequently sharing the same master/CAD. The wing joint however isn't the biggest problem for my eyes. There are so many things that are off on these HX like the upper deck, but particularly the aft fuselage and...

What I meant to say is that these images show classic ("B2") fuselages with and without the antennas - just like what AC did. To Yu's defense I may add, even Herpa didn't model a true -600 fuselage back when they did their Modell Edition/Premium.

I think they all are niche, but there has never been a Germania release in 400 scale, really? Germania 737-700 (D-AGET) by kingsmar777, auf Flickr

This is getting close to the real interesting stuff especially if you add red pylons. Anyone remember what this thread was about?😉

Thanks for this. HX has the details while the the good old DW looks a LOT more like a 747.

Defilitely improves the looks, I'd say from "bad" to "sub-standard"

Thanks to todays fast-paced social media I think those who read more than just a thread title and maybe the latest post before posting away are in the minority these days.😉

Mobile, desktop and MAF app - and no matter the device. Now as I'm typing this, pics load normally, but they very often don't as soon as there are several larger images. Often the entire site freezes. (I go via 300Mbit WLAN or even 1Gbit LAN) Only ever experience this on MAF. Sorry for OT...

I guess I'm the only one who sees pics on MAF only when I'm lucky. The load times strongly remind me on my good old 28.8k modem. Anyone else?
