I wish they would do other models too, like A310 or the classics. A fokker model would be nice too. Though i'd love to have a 90's livery version of ap-bak

That giant has seen it all.

Also, how is netmodels compared to AC / DW / PX ? Where does it rank relative to those.

the mould of netmodels 747 is quite poor i.e. no wing probes and that similar to the PX mould. But i will still get it!

Hope its the new livery

I hope it is AP-BGG but that was painted only recently. If you know these guys, you should push them to do BGG with the frontier tail.

i dont think it will be a fancy tail definately not AP-BGG as its too soon.

I hope its a Flag livery as we need it on a 747 ! or B747-200 AP-BAT would be nice
The only thing bad about this is the scale 1/500 will look odd alongside the other PIA's i got.

But if herpa or netmodels can make some more PIA's in the scale 1/500 then that wont be a problem.

Netmodels are like BlueBox just smaller.... will have to see the pic before I buy it! Though, I wish it was in 1:400 scale!

i recieved an email from a bluebox guy who is also involved with netmodels and he said below:

Hello Samee

Thanks for your message.

Yes, Net models will be produced the airline PIA Pakistan International Airlines B747 and they are considered in few options and have not confirmed yet. Do you have any suggestion about that? Pls advise.

it looks like they will be producing PIA models in a few quantities so i sent these suggestions for PIA B747's

PIA B747-367 "Lahore - Garden of the Mughals" reg: AP-BFW

PIA B747-367 "Karachi - Green Turtle Waters" reg: AP-BFX

PIA B747-367 "Kaghan - Mountain Paradise" reg: AP-BGG

PIA B747-200 "Quetta - Nature's Orchard" reg: AP-BAT

PIA B747-200 "Thar - Colours of the Desert" reg: AP-BAK

PIA B747-300 "PIA FLAG LIVERY" reg: AP-BFU

PIA B747-200 "PIA FLAG LIVERY" reg: AP-BAT

as netmodels have a habit of releasing alot of models of the same airline we should see at leats three PIA's 747 released any of the above will do me. i will keep you posted in what they choose.

and also wing probes and the 747 mould he will reply and let me know what they can do

I have also recieved an email from hogan wings who make excellent detail models in scale 1/200 and this is what they said:

Hi Samee,

YouÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢re very welcome! We will go ahead and make contact with PIA immediately and see if we can put together a formal license agreement. Unfortunately, many model manufacturers tend to produce unlicensed models that are not approved by the airlines.

So quite good news!!! visit they website and see they model quality:

my suggestions were the PIA B777-200ER and LR also the PIA B777-300ER. and a few PIA B747-300
