I'm not a great fan of PIA but with this nice tail scheme on an A310 with rolling wheels? I'll take one!

Well looks like Samee with be selling his BlueBox version.
My guess is Phoenix may be making the rest of the A310s' (but who knows).

I was hoping they GJ would do this livery on their updated mould. One for me please. I am going to be poor again after this month.

The new scheme looks wretched. The previous multi-stripes in green were really nice.

NOW I'm happy, and I'm pretty sure Samee is doing cartwheels. GJ has the best A310 mould there is.

My BB version will be making space for this one too.

The PIA urdu marking on the tail is the wrong way round! I hope they correct that!! With all the possibilites they had - they done the same one as BlueBox (visa versa)... Well I hoped GJ did the flag on the tail livery instead and left these to PX.

Also will this release generate enough $$$ to cover the cosr as im sure many have bought the BlueBox version... ?!

Is GJ moving to rolling wheels on ALL their models now? Or just widebodies, due to size?

No, only on certain GJ models. I am sure the A310s and A380s have them and maybe the VC-10s too.

Well as GJ has updated the model with the Destination Pakistan 2007 logo and added the "THE" titles to the rear markings, both will be correct - though if ur doin an airport diaroma.. u cant place them next to each other..

Recieved my model today and looks good bar a few minor mistakes.

Nice model much better than the Bluebox PIA A310 mould
