Fantasy models by Netmodels: PIA B707-340C

Post by samee380 »

I am in talks of buying a very RARE and sample made by netmodels of a Pakistan International Cargo B707-340C. This model wasn't mass produced. Its in scale 1/500

Two types

Chrome plated: http://www.vosen.de/images/nm_707_pia_silver.jpg

and Gold plated: http://www.vosen.de/images/nm_pia_707_gold.jpg

I will buy them both in a couple of days took me awhile to find one but i have done it. Will cost me $150 for both of them. But i really like the Gold version!!!! Looks RICH! :P

Though the text "Cargo Pakistan International" is wrong on the model it should be "Pakistan International Cargo" as in the photo of the link below:

But never mind

Will add to my ever-increasing PIA collection. :D

You're actually going to spend $150 on that????? And that too on 1/500 scale with incorrect text??

Man, you're obsessed. I thought I was bad.

haha... Samee, I too would advise you to give it a pass!! Dont go for this silver/ gold 1/500 scale crap from Netmodels, the mould is wrong, the silver or gold doesn't really give u a *bling bling* feel its more like burning ya money! Wait until AC does these in the 80s livery and that would be money well spent.

thanks for all your comments appreciate it. ok im going to have a think about it in the next few hours and will cancel the deal. you all have valid points and also they are fantasy.

i was thinking to buy them both and then sell them on ebay may get double as these are samples? what do you think?

Seriously they're awful. I too had a look at the Netmodels 707's as I wanted the PIA and Libyan Arab but one look at them put me off big time.

These 2 look like something you'd hang off the end of a keychain.

Wait until some proper 1/400's are made in PIA. Just because any crappy looking stuff has 'PIA' smacked onto it doesn't necessarily mean its a must have.
