The double Herb

[Phantom]

I'm neither interested in 737MAX nor in Southwest, so I thought it might be a good idea to buy both the NG and the Aeroclassics

So with a bit of delay... here's a set of pictures to compare.
The scaled CAD layout of the real 7M8 was printed onto white cardboard for reference. Enjoy

Aeroclassic better gold color
Aeroclassic missing white frame on the emergency exit, there is not black part under cockpit Windows on the Real one, wrong Color and position of the reg.

NG wrong gold color


Both not for my collection, but I’ll in any case too much mistake for both models. For me it’s no….

While NG by far has a superior mold, AC came in clutch with the paint.

 

[Purpleplane]

Yes, NG has the superior mould, and the color on NG looks a lot better to me. The AC looks more like the original "ochre" color to me.

 

[LeoMuse747]

AC looks terrible and the oversized gear doors kills the model in my opinion. Simply awful. NG wins for me, despite not getting the color right either...

 

[JJ Skippy]

NG definitely wins out in the battle with AC. Color is definitely more promising in this setup. I’m eager to see GJ’s rendition though, we shall see how they do.

The AC has a noticeable green cast, but the registration in black instead of white is the real deal-breaker. The color should be a gold "metal flake" paint; this is not the original Desert Gold color. It should be a sparkly metallic paint like what American uses for their current scheme, except gold instead of silver.
