Continuing from my previous post; here are the rest of the models:

2. Malindo Air B737-900ER (9M-LNF) scale 1:400 by Phoenix. This model is a 1:400 scale version of the flagship of Malindo Air, which was founded in 2012 as Lion Air Group subsidiary in Malaysia.

3. Malaysia Airlines A330-300 (9M-MKD) & A330-200 (9M-MKW),  scale 1:400 by Phoenix

These 2 models are part of the Malaysia Airlines history, as these older A330s are now retired from active duty. The A330-300 began entering service in the 1990s,replacing the older A300 and later followed suit by A330-200 models.

4. Malaysia Airlines A310-300 (F-ODVD), scale 1:400 by Aeroclassics.

This rare model itself is a unique chapter in MAS history, as this aircraft is leased for short period from Royal Jordanian Airlines. Shortly after the end of the operation, she later returned to RJ and continued on until she was converted to freighter. The aircraft itself later re-registered to JY-AGQ and set to be retired from active duty. Her replacement itself is a A330-200F, acquired from MASKargo.

1st, the AirAsia A320-200ceo in standard livery. However, the manufacturer is not mentioned on the packaging. However, it is likely the model is manufactured by Panda Models, as they also produce the same A320 model in Taylor Swift livery.

2. Lufthansa B737-200 Advanced (D-ABFX, Tubingen) scale 1:400 by Gemini Jets

Besides than B727 Europa Jet, Lufthansa also operates B737 as well in the 1970s. After the acquisition of B737-100 in the 1967, they also acquire B737-200 in 1969 (Lufthansa became the launch customer of the B737 plane model with the acquisition of 21 of B737-100, later followed suit by Malaysia Singapore Airlines (MSA),AVIANCA of Colombia and NASA).  They named their B737s after Cities in Germany (hence it is known as City Jet)

Lufthansa's historic relationship with B737 lasted until 2016, when they retire the last B737-300/500 in 2016, thus marking 49 years of operation.

This particular aircraft (B737-230Adv), started her flying days from 1981 with Lufthansa, and afterwards she continues her service with Irish low-cost carrier (LCC) RyanAir as EI-CNV until she was stored in 2005. After a month in storage, she later moved to South America, thus leaving the European Continent where she used to be her home for 24 years, and her first South American home is Chile, where she served with LAN Airlines, until 2008.After 3 years of service in Chile, she was transterred to other carrier, which is RUTACA of Venezuela, with her registration changed to YV390T, and up to this moment this article is uploaded, she was still in active duty in Venezuela.

This B707-300, with Cargo door on the front fuselage was delivered to EgyptAir on September 29th,1973.
