Herpa - news from Dietenhofen and Nuremberg Toy Fair:

527699 Alaska Airlines 737-800 "Spirit of the Islands" will be released with split scimitar winglets

As of the March/April 2015 releases, Herpa will no longer put the "Yesterday" logo on any box! Reason according to Herpa: "But since especially liveries change very quickly nowadays, resulting in all models in colors current at the time of announcement soon becoming historic, Herpa will henceforth refrain from this kind of labelling."
