Wah bhi. I like that take off angle there. This is the only livery im missing. How is quality of sovereign compared to AC or Gemini? Nr 3 engine looks like its about to fall.

well i haven't bought any of those Gemini A/C but i do know that this perticular sovereign A/C was hand painted by my dad's freind in the UK and most of it was also hand assembled! it cost my dad about 100 euros i think! the Nr 3 engine is not falling its perfectly in place, please tell me in which shot does it look like its falling so i can see wat youre tring to say! as far as i know it migh be a prob with me camera since it was giving horribble pics due to some setting fault!

P.S. Thanks for the comment saadu bhai! i really appreciate it!

In 2nd last pic, engine looks like maybe it wasn't pushed in all the way. Minor detail.
Hmm 100 Eur...yikes. Itnay mei to aap ko plane kay saath air hostess bhi mili chahiyey thi (toy plastic ones).

oh i see wat you mean, actually they're adjustable.! for modeling you can move it down a bit or if for personal use or sumthing move it up! also they made the wheels really detailed, but i forgot to add that shot, the middle 2 sets actuall turn in both directions like in real life! hence the nose wheel doesn't trun! also on the nose wheel the hydrolics suspension can be seen! All in all i really like the model, and i do think it wasn't worth the price but its a gift from my daddy!!

nice pics PIA10141 thanks. however i already have this model i thought you meant your father made one PIA himself. never mind but looks great.

however my tail doesnt have the white stripe going along it and also the joint on the tail to the fuselage is poor because i think this is the old GJ mould.

mine doesnt have the tail problem and no white stripe dont know why

but nice pics much better than mine

Superb pics guys! Great angles by Moshin. I have two of these in my collection - both looking great and with a Gemini Jets stand to go with them they look even better.

Samee, I just checked my PIA B743s and they do have indeed the white stripe on the tail. It alweays seems you get the bad quality or minor error detail missing...

Sadly in this hobby, I doubt it. In this hobby its more about the number that have been produced and how rare they are to find!

Sadly no there is no Boeing 747-300 in PIA latest livery in 1/400 scale or of this quality. However if you can settle for a PIA B742 there is one readily avialable by a company called Phoenix Models. It is also 1/400 scale with new Sindh tail. Also there is another one made by another aircraft model company called Dragon Wings which is out this month!

There are few stores in Canada, airblue can help you out with that. If you can use Ebay there are many on there too.
