The 747 for AirIndia have been discontinued ......& the Tristar are in production......Hope Herpa is okay cos Tristar is not in service at Air India since the 1990's
Please suggest what to do, as we are planning to build up an Indian Airport and your guidance will be appreciated
It's a nice idea to build an Indian airport!
About the Tristar: Herpa does not only produce current liveries, but also older liveries. So it's perfectly possible that Herpa produces the Tristar in Air India colors, since Air India flew them several years ago.
Now about your airport: i think its best not to mix 1/400 and 1/500 scale, if you want it to be a bit realistic. On the other hand, if you do mix them, you might be able to get a wider variety of airplanes, especially when you want to limit the range to planes that fly in India. And after all: 1/400 and 1/500 are not too different in size.

I hope this helps a bit.
Thank you for your suggestion. I do not mind the scale. I would appreciate if you could suggest to me the indian arena planes and my options.
well, if you plan on only using Indian airlines, then Herpa will only provide you very limited options. As mentioned before, from the list you gave me only Kingfisher and Indian Airlines are available.
However, if you plan on putting all airlines that come to Indian airports (so also foreign carriers), then you will have a much greater choice. In this case its a matter of finding out which carriers serve several Indian airports (for example on the airport sites or on http://www.airliners.net), and then looking on http://www.herpa.de which models they have available.
PS: don't make the mistake of putting let's say an American regional airplane on your display. If you want a carrier that comes from far you'll be needing the heavies!
PPS: if you have any models that you want i can order them for you if we don't have them in stock.

Thanks for your help my friend. I shall surf the sites suggested and revert back to you.
hello
i was looking at the Herpa catalogue and i saw a JAL B747 and a B777 and then i looked at micro wings and saw you have not got any on the web-site so i was wondering if you could please order any JAL aircraft because i am realy into JAL at the moment. :lookaround:
We have a JAL A300 in stock. No problem to order the others. If you email me with the exact herpa-item numbers you are looking for then i can reply to you with the details.
It depends. Our dealer can still have some stock left, but thats only a small chance. I would have to order it and see what happens. I suggest you do that - it doestn't cost you anything. Of course you only pay if we actually get our hands on it.
PS: @ Advisor: I hope you and your loved ones are ok after the bombings!! Let us know soon!

Most honourable loved ones at Luchtzak We are all okay here and my immediate family is in the United States. Am alone here, and the airport has given me a car to commute, so was saved.
