Shaheen Air Model

Post by mhansari »

Received today compliments of Shaheen Air

Image

A little over 12 inches from nose to tail... Locally made model (the stand says Dimension Models on the bottom), wings and engines leave something to be desired but the livery has been beautifully painted and decaled... the gold colour is actually a glittery gold. Sorry for the low quality pic... phone camera...

Its a model that has been made for Shaheen Air by some local manufacturer. It would have been much better had they gone to Risesoon and had a 1/100 scale 737 made, but even so, this is still fairly good. I'll try to take some better pictures of the livery decaling to show what I mean about the quality.

Looks as full resin model from the the picture posted and the way stand is painted. Now how come gold on engines dosen't match with tail?, i bet its same of real deals...I would love to have this model too, i was certain with your diemention it was 1/100 scale model unless it's one of those odd ball scales between 1/100 and 1/144...

i think it's a 1/200 scale the reason it looks big is cause the camera was near to the pic.

Regardless you have to admit this was a good job for a non-company work. Most scale models makers like skymarks also lack some details.

That is why i would like to have one of those models in my collection too, if i diden't had appreciated why would i want to have it for myself...Think yaar!

I believe in positive criticism as i pointed out small error for future release. Unless we modelers don't feedback each other consumers and non serious collectors won't care and not too accurate model with be available...

Nadir, in the my first post I have said that the model is about 12 inches from nose to tail. Thats's not 1/200 scale at all. A B737-200 in 1/200 scale measures 6 inches from nose to tail - therefore this scale is approximately 1/100, as Connieman suggested.
