Starjets produced this marvellous Singapore Airlines B747-400 "Tropical livery", registration 9V-SPK.
There has been much controversy over the appropriateness of producing aircraft models that have been involved in tragic accidents. In fact, Boeing 747-400 9V-SPK, flight 006, in October 31th of the year 2000 crashed into construction equipment during takeoff on a closed runway at Taoyuan International Airport (Taiwan). 83 people died and 71 were injuried.
Personally speaking i don't think that producing a model of a crashed airplane is an offense for the victims and the families because a such tragedy like an airplane crash is so immense about real life that can't be associated to a small piece of plastic and alloy.

I agree with you!

9V-SPK might have crashed but that Tropical livery is stunning.
I don't think making models of crashed aircraft is offensive to the victims and their families and friends either. If anything, the model can honour them. Sometimes the subject matter makes it impossible to avoid crashed aircraft. And let's not forget that technically, any aircraft which there is a model of and is still flying can crash.
Hi to all.
During Amsterdam Fair Mr. Kulgen (Herpa) said that about four E195-E2 models could be planned for this year ("are in development") and, according to this rumor, to the airlines using the model and to the airlines Herpa Is in confidence with, the four models should/could be:
Binter Canarias
Helvetic Airlines
Royal Jordanian
Luxair
Then Lufthansa: all the "100 Years" models Will be produced, including A320neo, B747-8i and A380 (B787-9 and A350-900 already announced). More Lufthansa models in regular livery Will be produced especially in the second half of the year because the priority Is for "100 Years" special livery.
Other Centennial liveries:
American Airlines B777-300ER "Flagship" already announced, B737-800WL N840NN planned.
United Airlines A321neo N44550: maybe, Herpa Is waiting for United Airlines go.
