My latest addition to the current collection; Garuda Indonesia B737-800 & Kuwait Airways A340-300

OK; It's been a long time since my last post here in my blog,thanks to the works and also the Festive season (Chinese New Year,which falls on Jan 23rd).

Anyhow,back to our original story.On 28/01/2012 (Saturday),I have received my latest addition to my collection,which are:

* Kuwait Airways A340-300 "Warba" by Hogan,and
* Garuda Indonesia B737-800 (PK-GFN;1969-1989 livery) by Gemini Jets.

First,the GA B738.This plane was one of the 2 B737-800s painted in retro livery (the other one was PK-GFM,in 1961-1969 livery).Dubbed as the  "Hockeystick",this livery was used from 1969 to 1989,before it was changed in 1990s.This livery was been spotted on :

* Airbus A300
* Boeing 747-200
* Fokker F28
* McDonnell Douglas DC-9 & DC-10

And here are the photos:

The second one was Kuwait Airways A340-300 (9K-ANA,"Warba") by Hogan,also in 1:400 scale.

The actual plane (cn 089), was delivered to KU on 29th March 1995,It is one of the 4 A340-300s operated by Kuwait Airways (the others was 9K-ANB, "Bayan",9K-ANC, "Meskan" and 9K-AND,"Al-Riggah").

Below are the photo of the models:

The only reason why i'm grabbing this Kuwait Airways model was to commemorate my youngest brother flight to the United States (KUL-KWI-LHR-JFK) which will take place on February 2012,and he will be flying onboard their A340 all the way from Kuala Lumpur to New York-JFK International Airport.
