Is it just me or does the PIA livery make the windows form a sort of "hill" on the forward fuselage? I've seen this phenomenon on the Phoenix 747-300 models, and now this one.

I believe it's crooked printing in both cases..

The GSE is nice, as is the tail colors, but I hate the mould.. I hope Phoenix does this one, or even Dragon.

In an unbiased observance, I see the nose as too pointy, windows arent straight (and I know the last section of A-300 and A310's slant up for the cargo floor) but this slant is in the front...Also, the tampo print on the right side says "Gateway to East".....Isnt there supposed to be a "the" in there???? If not, a bad observation, or the Pakistani lack of command of the English language.....

This looks feral. Disgusting that this would even be considered by many to be purchased.

The model needs a major nose job and cockpit printing improvement. Also, the joint between the wing section and the fuselage is not smooth, thus the seam line is highly visible.

I hope Phoenix does a better job of this than Blue box. I would rather have a good quality mould i.e the GJ version that Px uses. Though the GSE and stand are a nice touch, the nose looks too pointy and so are some of the textures look inaccurate.
