Where to buy PIA's B77Ws 1/100 scale models....

Post by ConnieMan »

I am keen on getting atleast one 1:100 scale resin model of PIA's
B77W in my present of 1:100 scale airliners fleet. I would buy 2nd hand also as long as it's in pristine condition and price is right. Anyone out there?...

Since PIA has changed there scheme once again, we know that Karachi's head office's 1:25 scale B77W's model was recently repainted in new colors at PIA's paint shop, but i highly doubt if any 1:100 scale models that are floating around will get repainted in new colors due to there small size and complications involved in doing so. What are the chances to buy one of those B77W models. I am looking for one and if someone can provide me with contact information, whom to get intouch regarding those models, i will appreciate it.

I'm sorry I'm unable to help you in this regard. PIA never give away models like that. They would rather see them thrown to junk and destroyed.

HA ha give away, well i never said i wanted it for free, sure they get them for next to nothing but i would pay up to $300 plus shipping for one of these....anyways if you can't help no problem maybe someone in PIA browsing these forums might contact me after seeing this thread.

You're beating a dead horse. I tried way before you and came up with a big fat zero.

They do not sell them neither do they give them away. The models get broken over time then discarded to the junk pile and auctions are held every few years when all the junk is hauled off never to be seen again. There are also a few keen model enthusiasts within the airline and they will make attempts to get those models for themselves rather than sell/give them to someone else.

However, sometimes in exceptional cases one does get lucky.

And for that you need to be in Pakistan and know the right people personally.

Not possible anymore. Besides you might not even get it, like with the P-3 Orion kit I sent you from London many years ago.
