The ATRs: Firefly & MASwings model

From all of my collection; I only have 4 turboprop models (2 Fokker 50 model in MAS & MASwings),and the other 2 was Firefly and MASwings ATR 72-500 model,both in 1:150 scale,made by Long Prosper.


Firstly,the Firefly model;It was made by Long Prosper,but without the registration.The model was made for in-flight sale within Firefly routes.Below are the photo the actual model of the plane:





The price of the model was RM 60;and it was available either during the flight or at their sales office at Sultan Abdul Aziz Airport,Subang.


Afterwards,the model undergo modifications,and after for weeks,the modifications were completed,and below are the reworked model:






The modifications were:


* Landing gears,
* Yellow-colored tips on the Propeller blade; and
* Silver color on the APU


My second ATR model was MASwings ATR 72-500,same scale and also same manufacturer (1:150,Long Prosper).However for the model,the registration (9M-MWA) was included as well.The plane,(cn 817) was delivered on 2008,and christened as "Kuching",after the City of Kuching,Sarawak.


Below are the photos of the model:





The model will undergo the similar modification just like the Firefly,however,I'm considering another additional details on the model,which are:


* 1Malaysia model on the rear passenger door
* "Kuching"  word below the Jalur Gemilang


Hopefully the additional details can be added.
