Wings Search 2015 (2)

Here you can find my older 1/500 news (July - December 2015) 

 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.

Herpa:
528351 Sudan Airways A300-600 (News 11/12 2015) will not be produced
 
Herpa re-release:
528085-001 KLM 787-9 Dreamliner (News 03/04 2016)
"Unfortunately, we noticed a mistake on the left side of the fuselage only after distribution had already begun. Imprinted on the model is “Royal Dutch Airlines”, followed by the KLM logo. However, the KLM logo would need to stand in front of the titles. This mistake crept in due to the lack of photos of the original aircraft during the artwork development and production phases with which the artwork could have been compared."

Saturday, 14.11.15:
Herpa - re-release:



527743 747-8I Lufthansa Retro - registration D-ABYT "Köln" - grey fuselage
 
 
Herpa:
"A320 model scheduled for delivery in February.
Exactly one year ago, our 6/2014 issue’s editorial mentioned delivery delays concerning especially the models of the A320 family in the 1/500 scale. The reason for this has been that a company delivering components had been closed. In spring, the situation got even worse, as a large part of the already produced merchandize was destroyed due to a transport accident. Thus, the production of the models had to start again from scratch. The production of these models already started, and we expect the models to become available until February 2016."
