Missing Models / Changes / Errors Request Thread

That's right, they're a brand rather than a company. But that's just business terminology. The difference between a brand and a wholly owned company exists purely for accounting and legal subtleties.

To the traveller, spotter, and collector, they're an airline, so that's how the models should be listed imho.

It's what the model manufacturer does,

... and it's what most major retailers do (ACB, AMS, ARD, Westmaintoys, ezToys, The Airplane Shop) because it's what it says on the box.

A.net and jp.net also list Kulula.

So let's go with the mainstream, even if it's not entirely correct, or at least compromise and list eg. "Kulula (Comair)". At the very least, "Kulula" should be added to each model's notes.

My $.02. What does everyone else think?



Thank you.

I agree with you - $.02

Hello, part number HC-031 is listed twice in the database (as ID 20792 and 26497). It appears the source of the confusion is that there are 2 registrations printed on the model. N6934C and PH-LLA. The card lists it as "N6934C, later PH-LLA." Evidently the US reg was the pre-delivery testing registration. Honestly I'm not sure what would be the best way to list the registration, but either way I'd say the 2 entries should be combined.

Airfleets has it wrong. Kulula is not a separate company, just a trading name of Comair, hence why they are listed as Comair.
