Unfortunately I do have the same problem as many others, I don’t have space to show them. They ALL are well packed in plastic boxes on the attic. What a shame! But who knows what future brings.
In November 2022 I decided to stop collecting 1:500s. The reason for this decision first of all was the low number of active producers of 1:500. This is more or less just Herpa. So we talk about 13 new announced(!) planes every two months. And as Herpa seems to work for Lufthansa you can bet that there is always one LH. I know, I know home market and so on… but that becomes boring! And I have enough of their so called “special liveries”. Sorry, different topic

So if you compare this situation to 1:400 – which I started collecting in Nov. 2022 – you have several producers and a much wider variety. And I don’t even speak about little details on the planes that make them more realistic.
The only negative point is the price. They are almost twice as expensive. But as I said, you get a more detailed aircraft.
So I would say 1:500 is still alive and doing a great job. And as long as Herpa exists, you will always get new (LH
