1:500 fleet.

This shows that Herpa is able to give detail! It's a shame that the nose section is so strange, otherwise it would be an excellent model!
For me, €40 is far too expensive for 1/500 models. Herpa would either have to add details or lower prices.
Besides, a Herpa live took place tonight on Instagram, I didn't have time to see it. Did anyone saw it and if so, what did they say?

Maybe someone knowing German language. I have understood that Herpa will produce all the six Lufthansa "100 Years" airplanes and the A321 revised retro livery, than that the B777-9 will not have movable wingtips because of too many realization problems in the small scale. Maybe Herpa will realize a second version in the future.

Thanks for your answer Charter. I speak German but I couldn’t participate to the live. Lufthansa’s A321 in retro livery in scale 1/500 is a good news but an A321-200 or -100 in standard livery and in 1/500 would be better

So are they producing 777-9 with the existing mould but in airline liveries?

Yes and in the second part of the year (or of the B777-9 project) with movable wingtips.
Then two more Il-62s and trying to full the gap with Aeroflot classic livery Il-62.
No B737 Classic new mould planned (B737-300/400/500) but for Lufthansa 100 Years there could be a Lufthansa B737-300 and/or -400/500.
Referring to competitors (Aether...) Herpa welcomes fair competition but even the competitor have produced models with flaws and errors (mould mistakes, wrong liveries, wrong details and so on).
More details will be added on Herpa models fuselage and they are trying to make this without further increasing prices.

I’m predicting moving wingtips are going to be plastic, otherwise there might be giant gaps with all diecast. I would also argue 40Eur is too much for 1/500, especially Herpa which already has industrial manufacturing scale…

No more Finnair license with Herpa
A couple of CRJs in the future
No B747SP new mould
Very "short final" with a low cost carrier for license agreement but no name (Southwest? Ryanair? easyJet? Air Arabia? Volotea? Wizz Air again?)
