Charter 1:400 collection.
- Thread starter Charter
- Start date
Not worst than other minor manufacturers and at 2/3 of their prices. Eurowings Holiday A320WL is not so bad. Aeroclassics and JCWings models very often have incredible flaws, and JCWings B737-800 mould has wrong nose section with a kind of "stair" on the top of cockpit windows. Unfortunately with close-up photos each flaw gets out and i am discovering very bad things.Sadly Herpa moulds in 1:400 are inferior to the quality of other brands.
Honestly speaking i would like Herpa 1:400 production.
A tribute to one of Apollo 13 astronaut, Jim Lovell. He has died August 8th at 97 years of age. Apollo 13 mission has been a "potential tragedy turned in a great NASA success".

PART 4
Skyline Express Airlines B777-300ER and B737-900ER. Very fast growing airline from Ukraine becoming a common view in airports like AYT and VIE. It was Azur Air Ukraine and UTAir Ukraine, when Russia still did not want to create a big problem for the entire world.
French Bee A350-1000. I love the -1000 versione of the A350
United Airlines B737 MAX10
Nile Air A320, especially in the beautiful special livery
Tailwind B737-800WL by Turkey
Air Explore B737-800WL, yet another ACMI/charter airline
Privilege Style A321, ACMI/charter from Spain and a good pair with the B777-200
Titan A320, ACMI/charter from UK. Finished the era of the B737-300, B757-200 and Bae 146/RJ, this airline now flies the A320.

very nice model, seems like that middle antenna isnt fully inserted into the model!
Yes, good eyes.
Nose gear looks weird aswell. Maybe it's placed backwards???
I have to check.
Meanwhile AeroPolaris Eurowings B737-800WL has arrived: i will post the pics.

the nose gear is fine, its just this angled leg is hidden behind the gear door
Indeed, you're right!
For enthusiasts and fetishists of niche airlines, AeroItalia must change name and livery starting 2026. This because AeroItalia lost lawsuit with/against ITA Airways: Aeroitalia name and logo is too similar to Alitalia brand (defunct airline but the brand Is owned by ITA Airways) creating confusion. It seems that AeroItalia already decided about name, livery and logo but they are still not official.
"Aeroitalia dovrà cambiare nome e logo della livrea a partire dal 2026, a seguito di un contenzioso con ITA Airways riguardo la somiglianza con il marchio Alitalia. Il giudice ha dato ragione a ITA Airways, stabilendo che il nome e il logo di Aeroitalia creavano confusione. La compagnia aerea ha già scelto il nuovo marchio, ma i dettagli non sono ancora stati resi noti".
AeroItalia is a strong Italian airline flying a fleet of two ATR-72, one E175, one E190, One B737-700WL and nine B737-800WL, focused on regional/domestic flights and some International flights especially towards East Europe.
... Alitalia's curse continues to strike...
Honestly speaking i don't see so many similarities among these
and these, especially because of the completely different colors
But Italian judges are famous for their "creativity" and their own way to apply laws and, especially and unfortunately, when to apply them and when not to apply them, with whom to apply the laws and with whom to ignore them!

My definitive wishlist
PART 5
All Sundair (Germany) beautiful fleet with A319 and A320 in different liveries. I did not mention the A320 "special livery" because i am not interested in special liveries before to have a model in the current, regular livery. When Herpa produced and continues to produce s single model of an airlines in a special livery i really become crazy! In my opinion special liveries have to be produced after a manufacturer produced the regular livery of an airline.
Lufthansa City A320neo
Go2Sky B737-800WL completely white fuselage but i love to have at least a completely white B737-800 and a A320, they make the "leisure/charter/ACMI" traffic more realistic.
Laudamotion (Lauda Air) A320, this also because Niki was a nice niche airline produced in both 1:400 and 1:500 and the A320 with the Fly on the nose section was fantastic, and then because Niki Lauda MUST be tributed with airplane models.
