1:500 fleet.
- Thread starter Charter
- Start date
Looking at my models i was considering the Tupolev Tu-114, a Soviet era airplane based on Tu-95 bomber design. This is just a comparison to share how big the Tu-114 was (51 meters lenght), compared with two modern widebodies, Mongolian B787-9 by Boeing and Condor A330-900neo by Airbus.
Indeed a big bird. Longer than a B767-200 and almost a B767-300.
Yet another "BEAUTIFUL" Herpa Instagram streaming today: very few news but always the same certainties.
Starting with the NO:
NO Easyjet, NO Ryanair, NO Volotea, NO Nouvelair, NO Neos MAX8, NO Air Cairo, NO Egyptair B777-300ER, NO Enter Air, NO Southwest, NO Sky Express, NO Sundair, NO Nordica CRJ-900, NO Finnair, NO ITA Airways narrowbodies, NO Jet2holidays, NO Aeroitalia, NO Eva Air, NO JetStar, NO Sunclass, NO Korean Air new livery, NO ETF Airways, NO JetTime, NO MD-11, NO DC-10, NO A300, NO A310, NO SkyUp, NO Ukraine International, NO DAT, NO Russian Airlines..ah, luckily NO yet another Concorde nose up.
MAYBE LATAM narrowbodies
FREEZED Binter and Helvetic E195-E2, Wizz Air A321ceo, A320neo, A321neo
YES Condor, YES Lufthansa, YES Emirates, YES Qantas.
Then the real question is: "dear Herpa, does you understand why even more collectors switches to 1:400 scale?!".Herpa, even more a niche manufacturer (unfortunately the only existing in 1:500 scale) for niche collectors loving three-four evergreen airlines.

1:500 future is indeed bleak, with no hope for a better outcome.
