Herpa, though mainly Airfix/Revell kits.

Schbak, because those are the only models I can get at the airport.

I have a lot of Herpa models (about 50) but unfortunately they are more and more difficult to find in Belgium. I used to go to Brussels and Ostende but all the shops closed, this is such a shame. I wish we had a aviation shop like the one I went to in Toronto, soooooo great but my wallet did not like it

There still is one (order only) in Aalst, but pretty much expensive or, a lot easier and cheaper also via the internet, 'aviation centre Berlin' and/or 'aviation megastore' in Rotterdam (the latter can be reached in about 2h drive from Flanders).

I started to collect SCHABAK in later 90's (scale 1/600)
Now continue with HERPA (scale 1/500)

But I love the finest details of Herpa 1/400, unfortunately the price is also highly detailed.

the gemini jets are quite cheap

loadmaster747 · Post by **loadmaster747** » 27 Apr 2006, 01:17

Well, next time I'll compare prices between Gemini & Herpa, I'll be surprised perhaps!
Cos I didn't compare yet

now herpa. But i also have some Wooster and Hogan. Also have a lot of self-made Revell kits. I would prefer Hogan for there quality, but since they are 1/200 i dont have enough room to place any more of them

Herpa mostly.

I also collect Herpa. I bought the A380 a few weeks ago in Paris with a price of 40 EUR!
btw: there is also a shop in Hasselt where you can buy Herpa but they don't have alot. Maybe 15 aircraft.

I used to go for the Schabak ones, but the company has been bought by another German company and it seems production has been stopped

nwa757 · Post by **nwa757** » 15 Jun 2006, 17:11

For the die-cast models, I usually go with Herpa or Gemini. For snap-together, I mostly buy Sky Marks or Flight Miniatures.

hi
i have a wonderful A380 i bought and a JAL A300 from Herpa and i am now starting to colect Herpa more than Gemini

fokker_f27 · Post by **fokker_f27** » 08 Jul 2006, 11:38

Does anyone collect Dickie-Schuco? They have taken over Schabak, so I'm wondering if they make good models.

Philip1069 · Post by **Philip1069** » 09 Jul 2006, 10:57

Their new catalogue will only be out in September. The complete line of Schabak will be redesigned and initially Schuco Aviation will focus on 1/600 scale models
