i got it as far back as 1993 from a duty free shop in columbo. And you know shabak planes are not very good quality.
Good thing i stopped buying small planes. The smallest i buy from now on is 1:400 nothing smaller.

It's a metal diecast plane as you can see, but the livery has suffered over the years as the poor plane has been boxed during many moves. If this was another brand, i doubt it would have suffered this badly. I have to agree Schabak sux at size & painting quality

You'll also notice the wingtips are a bit dented. :cry:

though you might be right about the scale, that's a A310-200. I had an emirates A310-300 of the same scale and it looks different from this.

Here's a pic of an A310-200 scale model:

How can this model be in 1:500? The set with 4 aircrafts was in 1:600 and that was B742 B733 A300 A310?

For the sake of information, all PIA Airbus A310s are A310-300.

A310-200s were built without wingtip fence whereas all A310-300s have wingtip fence. Photos posted by Nadir also show the aircraft model with wingtip fence so it's A310-300.

Aircraft models specially toy-like models like this PIA A310 model should never be compared with dimension/size of real aircraft.

A310-200 and A310-300 are nearly 100% identical aircraft from outside. The visible external difference between A310-200 and A310-300 is wingtip fence on all A310-300 models.

Nope. The other A310s i compared them to were of Emirates of the same brand and the same scale. yet their wingtips and fusalage seemed different from this one. When I'm in Karachi again, I'll post a pic of my Emirates planes to make a comparison. Maybe those ones are A310-200s then.

like the same differences then between 777-300 and 777-300ER?

Nadir,

Yaar Abbas is right between the difference in A310-200 and -300. It's very settle but it's there.

I had same model too years ago, i sold it to a fellow on here from NYC area, he never sent funds for it either, so after couple of emails sent to him i wrote the deal off and considered that a gift to him...

Oh change the title to 1/600 Scale as all Shabaks were 1/600 scale diecast models.
