Ah, ok.
Ja, mener det skal være samme materiale på plastmodellene.
En samler på Wings900.com kom med fordeler/ulemper med Skymarks vs Hogan:
"Hogan:
- A fundamental feature of all Hogan models is that they use the same mould as Herpa does. Up to now all Hogan B747 do also have true cockpit windows like Herpas have. The decal quality is the same. Some models which are available from Herpa are also available from Hogan (e.g. Thai B744, Qantas A388, both with same registration).
- Landing gear (if provided) is more detailed (as long it is a NewGen landing gear with rubber tires like Herpa provides a couple of years now). The rims and tires look more realistic than Skymarks.
- Gear doors are painted in the colour of the fuselage.
- If the model does not come with landing gear, you can buy a seperate Hogan landing gear (the only disadvantage in most cases will be that the gear doors are in grey only - but e.g. not a problem on Lufthansa because they are grey below anyway).
- On some models (South African A346) it is not possible to assemble the front gear because it is to wide 1/10 mm or so.
- Often the main gears (e.g. Qatar A346) need glue to be attached permanently. Otherwise they just fall off.
- Most Hogans have a registration, some not (e.g. Qatar A346 if I remember correctly?!).
Skymarks/Risesoon:
- The quality of the decals is often worse than on Hogan models, especially colour gradients (e.g. Air New Zealand B744 tail).
- One third of Skymarks models have uncoloured grey wings (with except of Lufthansa or so) which is very poor. Another third does have the medium section coloured in silver and only the last third of models comes with additional black lines and all the "no step" prints.
- The same distribution is valid for engines. Sometimes the jet intake and exit is grey plastic (e.g. Air New Zealand B744). The improved versions do have the same engines but the mentioned parts are coloured in silver at least which does not look too bad (e.g. Qantas B744 F1-2000). The best engines come with rotating fan blades and multi-coloured intake and exit (e.g. KLM B744, Singapore Air B773).
- The strange thing is that sometimes you can get the same model from Risesoon with more detailed wings and/or engines, sometimes the one from Skymarks is better. And very often there is more than one version available: One with grey wings and poor engines, one with coloured wings and rotating engines (e.g. Emirates A388).
- Landing gear (if provided) always consist of alu (?) rims and rubber tires, but they look ugly to me. The gear doors are never coloured.
- If no landing gear is provided you cannot add one like on Hogans.
- Skymarks models often lack of further details (e.g. Qantas B744 Wunala II wrong registration / Air New Zealand B744 wrong fuselage colour).
- Many Skymarks have a registration, many not (e.g. Fedex MD-11)"
