Thread: Herpa Premium KLM 747-400 1:200

In the mail today I received a few spare parts from Herpa. Two small and two large drain masts. I've used one to fix the ANZ model, that I recently got from Randy. Looks good now... In the struggle to attach the missing drain mast in place on the ANZ, I've lost one as I planned to use in on the KLM. These drain masts are soooo small that it was extremelly difficult to get it in place... I've asked Herpa for a few more. Randy, I...

Re: Herpa Premium KLM 747-400 1:200 It doesn't bother me too much about the KLM, but it does for the ANZ. I am already taking a $50 loss at the price of $400 and it looks like I may have to lower the price if I don't receive a drain mast from Herpa. __________________

I would feel the same way as you do, aradrom... not that that makes you feel any...

Re: Herpa Premium KLM 747-400 1:200 I do not have the KLM but my 3 ANZ's all have the part in question.

BUMP! Under four hours to go!

At over $660 U.S. delivered with "buy it now" option, way too rich for me.

Hey czechplastik - I'm the lucky winner of this gorgeous model...sent you a PM... Exactly! Plus you only get to live once and you only get to enjoy the model during your life so I say why not!

I own this model for years and didn't realize the issue. You are right. The mast is missing on my KLM. All my IF and AV 747s have it attached though. I wonder if it was a production fault on all premium KLM 744s. I wouldn't be too surprised as it was an attachment of a very small object. Please let us know if you hear from Herpa.
