Vel, jeg tror nok Norwegian modellene seller bra. Jeg tror nok at mange samlere ikke nødvendigvis kun samler på flyselskaper de har fløyet selv, men også ser på farger, merker, typer, uvanlig, eksotisk etc. Ser egentlig ikke noe grunn til at det skulle være noen spesiell grunn til at de ikke skulle selge.

Fra Herpa sin FAQ:

" Why is the model of .... not in the Herpa assortment?

To build tools (die-casting forms) for car and airplane models in Herpa quality is a very expensive matter. For a single new car, approx. 1,500 man hours are necessary for construction and toolmaking alone! For a truck, the input is even higher. Moreover, it takes a downright specialist to do this work. Because no company has unlimited money and specialists to burn, Herpa has to carefully weigh each decision for new investment in cooperation with its partners. Certain originals not (yet) being in the Herpa assortment doesn’t mean that they are not worthy of being realized as models. Rather, it is mostly a question of priority. As banal as it sounds, one can’t do “everything”. Another aspect is that car manufacturers transfer rights in the form of concessions. As a result, the model can only be produced when a corresponding contract has been signed, and the model manufacturer has paid the concession fees. "




Men, en skulle tro at det er standard form på modeller de lager og at det bare er livery som trengs å legges til for å lage variasjonene. Kan ikke helt forstå at det kan bli så dyrt. Spørsmålet er om det er lett å få rettighetene til å bruke Braathen Safe navnet og eventuelt hvor mye det koster.
