My latest addition to the collection: Malaysian Airline System Fokker 27 by Aeroclassics (Scale 1:400)

It's been 4 months since i've updated this blog; therefore it's time to updating it again.

Recently, I've managed to get myself the Malaysian Airline System (MAS) Fokker 27 turboprop, made by Aeroclassics. This model itself is a hot-seller, especially for the Malaysian collectors.

The model itself was bought from a fellow collector (where she mentioned that she had to pay for a high price for that model), and fortunately she managed to secure few units of that model.

Again, thanks to Mrs. Keena of Malaysianwings for helping me buying this model.


The actual aircraft (9M-MCI; cn 10471) was built on 1971, By early 1990s, all MH  F-27s finally retired from service, to be replaced by brand-new Fokker 50.
