Re: [AMD] Re: What are the most sort after Hasegawa 1/200 Airliner models?

I would certainly agree that the RR & GE 747 kits are rarer and I think the simple reason is that, especially in the case of RR, there are fewer operators than for P&W.  Hasegawa certainly could have issued more 747 Classics with GE engines as many major Asian and European airlines used these engines; perhaps as I said in another e-mail, they were not able to get permission from the airlines.  It's amazing to me that they even bothered to tool the 2 versions of the RR engines used on 747s as they've only ever (to my knowledge) issued them with QANTAS decals.  Given that they've covered QANTAS & Ansett quite well over the years I assume 1:200 scale airlines are popular there.

Hello Tony. I think that kit is a rare one. I was wondering if the following Hasegawa kits are also most sought after.

Qantas 747-400 with the latest version RR RB211 engines
Delta 727-200 with widget scheme(Hasegawa/ Minicraft)
United "U" scheme 747-200
ANA 747-200 with GE CF56 engines with Triton blue scheme
ANA 727-200, 737-200 combi kit Triton blue scheme

I had mentioned the two 747 kits that have Rolls Royce and GE engines because those I noticed were extremely rare when I did see them. Can anyone verify if the GE and RR engine versions were produced less than the PW engines?
