Here you can find my older 1/500 news (May - August 2012) from Herpa, Hogan, Inflight500, Sky500, etc. If you need older news - take a look at the archives For some reason I decided to convert the archive part of this website into a login system. If you still want access to those older information, you can get the password by email.
