New Netmodels Release: PIA B747-367 Lahore AP-BFW

Post by samee380 »

I have just found out that Netmodels in scale 1/400 will be releasing PIA B747-367 AP-BFW. I dont know why considering PX and DW have already done this model, and also Netmodels in scale 1/500. I will try and find more info and do what i always do "interfere" :lol: Tj (PK777) will know what i mean.

Maybe Kaghan would be better model. I will try my best

I wouldnt recommend getting these samee they are a waste of money and we should not be supporting such aircraft manufacturers who do not have good models to a high standard.

I totally agree. Stick to quality models, not just any old crap because it has PIA stamped on it.

NM have already released most of the 747 fleet in 1:500 but they just don't come upto that standard.

YES there is a model in released by Netmodels in scale 1/400 thats PIA B747-300 Mughal tail AP-BFW

look here for photos. but doesnt look good some mistakes i.e. its "Mughal" when it should be "Mughals", but then again small error as it was "Mughal" before, engines look wrong.

Even so Samee, I still stick by what I said earlier. Just take a look at it, the engine pylons look wrong, the cockpit and front fuselage seem to have a weird shape.. They just want people to stop buying the better quality Phoenix release compared to this NM model. Why did NM waste time releasing this model... maybe the PX version has sold out?

It might be the photograph but the colour seem to be darker than usual also wing probes are missing and the front gear also seems quite chubby?

^yeh i noticed all them points, i will have to have a think if i get this model. just dont know how to display them.
i may display all my non-licensed models on one shelf i.e. the PIA A310-300 BBX and netmodels scale 1/500 with this AP-BFW Model.

btw the PX PIA version isnt sold out yet

Samee as others said, forget about these, they are just inferior compared to DW, NJ, AC and PHX models, this one has many errors yet quality its cheap on the whole.
