Default Airlines Underrepresented in 1:400?

A flimsy excuse for a wish-list thread, so if you are bored of them, look away now. For those that arent, read on...

I was thinking of airlines that are underrepresented in 1:400, that I wouldnt mind seeing more of, or at least some of!

For example - Oman Air would be one for definite. Loved their old livery and their new one is even better. A 738W, A313 or A332 in either livery would be blinding.

Others:

Firefly - F50 would be nice, but ATRs too once someone does the mold.
LIAT - Dash 8s. We dont have enough Dashes!
Air Nostrum
Air Seychelles - how we havent had one of their 767s yet I have no idea.
Sri Lankan - i know DW did their A332 but it wasnt very good.
Orion
FlyingColours
Britannia - classic livery.
Thomas Cook
Sterling
Air Deccan
Air Zim - a nice 763 would be lovely.
Air Arabia
Flydubai
AerArran - might have to wait for an ATR mold.
Manx Air - A really lovely Bae146!
Caribbean Airlines - we have BWIA but nothing on their successor?
AmeriJet - classic 722F.
Air UK Leisure - 733?
Mahan Air - A320, A313 etc?
Tiger Airways Australia - a normal TR A319 would be nice too.
BMI - I know we've had their A332 but there is so much more to do!
Lufthansa - modern livery.
Meridiana - I'd take an MD83, 146 and A319 easy. Great livery.
Air Nepal - 757s anyone?
Druk Air - more exotic Bae146 and A319s.
Egyptair Express
Air Memphis
Lotus Air
Tunisair
Sunwing
Air Algerie
Air Mauretanie
Arik Air
Bellview
GIRJet - i know they went bust but what a livery on the 747!
Avient - cool DC10F livery.
Privatair - lots of possibilities here.
Lineas Aerias Sudamericas
sunExpress
Onur Air
Pluna
LAN Equador
LAN Peru
LAN Argentina
GOL
Conviasa
JetAirFly
Norwegian Air Shuttle

Before this thread gets out of hand listing many somewhat obscure carriers, let's narrow the list down to 'major international carriers', or the 'flag carriers', which should make things a little easier. Looking at my collection, the following are poorly represented, or none at all:

Air Rhodesia/Air Zimbabwe (720,707 Viscount, BAe 146 wanted)
THY- Turkish Airlines (707, 727-200,DC-10, Viscount wanted)
Uganda Airlines (707. L-100-30 Hercules wanted)
Air Mauritius (707 wanted)
Air Seychelles (707 wanted)
Surinam Airways (DC-8 wanted)
Air Jamaica (DC-8 wanted)
Luxair ( 707 wanted)
Panair do Brasil (L-749 Connie & DC-8 wanted)

This is more interesting than the usual wishlist, so long as people don't push the meaning of 'underrepresented'.

I think all these have zero :400 models in the database. Perhaps they are too obscure, or they don't exist for very long. Some do exist in :500.

If the country is in bold, then I think the entire country is not represented. I'm excluding airlines with fleets that can't be represented with existing molds.

Albania: Albanian, Belle
Algeria: Air Algerie
Armenia: Armavia
Bangladesh: GMG (not sure if doable),
Belarus: Belavia
Benin: Benin Golf Air (fleet size, a single 732)
Bosnia and Herzegovina: B&H/Air Bosna
Brazil: Azul, Gol
Burma: Myanma Airways/Burma Airways
Cambodia: CambodiaAngkorAir
Canada: Porter
Cape Verde: TACV
Chad: Toumai Air Tchad
Cote d'Ivoire: Air Ivoire
Croatia: Croatia Airlines (Star Alliance)
Djibouti: Air Djibouti (defunct)
Eritrea: Eritrean Airlines (a single 762)
Estonia: Estonian Air
France: Air Caraïbes
Gambia: Afrinat
Guinea: Air Guinee
Hungary: Wizz
India: Indigo, GoAir, Paramount, Kingfisher red/deccan
Indonesia: Bouraq
Italy: Air One
Kazakhstan: Air Astana
Kyrgyzstan: Kyrgyzstan Airlines
Lithuania: FlyLAL/Lithuanian (defunct)
Maldive Islands: Air Maldives (defunct)
Mali: Compagnie Aerienne du Mali/Air Mali
Malta: Air Malta
Mauritania: Air Mauritanie (defunct)
Moldova: Air Moldova
Mongolia: MIAT
Montenegro: Montenegro Airlines (F100 can be made)
Mozambique: LAM
Nepal: Royal Nepal Airlines/Nepal Airlines
Nigeria: Arik Air
Oman: Oman Air
Pakistan: Airblue
Russia: Yamal
Rwanda RwandAir
Seychelles: Air Seychelles
Slovakia: Air Slovakia
Somalia: Somali Airways (defunct)
Tajikistan: Tajik Air
Turkmenistan: Turkmenistan Airlines
Uganda: Air Uganda
Ukraine: Aerosvit, Donbassaero, Dniproavia
United Arab Emirates: Air Arabia
United Kingdom: Silver City Airways
United States: Best Airlines, Cascade Airways, Morris Air
Yemen: Yemenia
Zambia: Zambian Airways (defunct)
Zimbabwe: Air Zimbabwe

I'll edit as omissions are pointed out.

Let's see, of fairly well known carriers that I have not noticed been listed, there is:
-First Air
-Air Florida (when I own half of what has been produced of a certain airline and that number is still less than 5, you know you need more!)
-Southern Airways
-UPS (older colors)
-ATA ("Palm Tree" and old "first" colors)
-MIAT

Well this list could go on and on but mainly UK airlines with the exception of BA, airlines such as BMI (one model is hardly anything), easyjet (for the size of the airline 3 models is nothing), then Thomson airways, Thomas cook and aer lingus, i also feel that mainland Europe is poorly represented in some areas, examples being Iberia, especially the short haul side of there operations, it was nice to see air Berlin models released by GJ this year, however they missed out the main side of the carriers operations, that being A32X and 737 type aircraft, the list is pretty much endless.

edit: I consolidated my list in the above post. The list is of airlines with ZERO models in :400





Good for Aeroclassics, as they have done models of older and colonial era airlines of many third-world nations.

Looking at my list, I think the most pressing needs are:
Gol, S7, Air One, Croatian, Arik Air, Aerosvit.

Ugh. S7 is in the database under Sibir. I didn't realise that.

Do you guys know why they aren't represented?
Because they are in their own niche.
Not many collectors what these so,
therefore they wouldn't be profitable releases...

unless the manufacterer produced only about 100-200.

And Don't Forget The Numerous Hybrids

In My Collection I Have:

Zas Airline Of Egypt.

I'd Also Like To Point Out Some Models Have Been Made With The Airlines Already Requested. Just That They Still Appear To Be Underrepresented.

We Should Never Be Afraid To Ask. Only Problem Is Most Will Not Agree With You.

Not many collectors what these so,
therefore they wouldn't be profitable releases...

unless the manufacterer produced only about 100-200.
Even on my list of totally unrepresented airlines, I think there are a few that'd do well on the market. Some newish airlines, some budget airlines in the mix. They'll come, in time.

Some of the older ones are puzzling, though. Air Seychelles is well represented in other scales, for example.

L1011 - I see a single Luxair model in the database, a Q400

Adrian, how many major carriers are truly underrepresented? At most, there's maybe a missing livery, but the airline itself is there.

Your tastes are clearly centered on yesteryear, which is great, but be careful not to make this the same as a personal wishlist. At 13 models, there is no way you can say Air Jamaica is underrepresented. Perhaps the newer liveries and aircraft don't interest you, but then the title would be 'Airlines underrepresented under the AeroClassics collector criteria'.

In any case, I agree the thread will get cluttered with obscure stuff, which is why I'm trying to collect them all in one post, clearly organised by country. Maybe nobody else cares about my list, but I think it's a good way to organise the material.

Adrian, by the way - I put Silver City in under UK just for you. I thought that'd be something up your ally.

Updating my list with airlines mentioned by others in the thread. Again, to make the list, the airline has ZERO models (my choice), and the airline had to use aircraft for which a mold exists.

Red = entire country has no models
Bold = I think it's a notable exception

Algeria: Air Algerie
Argentina: LAN Argentina, LAPA (defunct)
Armenia: Armavia
Bangladesh: GMG (not sure if doable),
Belarus: Belavia
Belgium: Jetairfly (worst name ever)

India: Indigo, GoAir, Paramount, Kingfisher red/deccan, Sahara (merged), SpiceJet
Indonesia: Bouraq, Sempati
Iran: Mahan Air
Ireland: Aer Arann (shorts 360 doable)
Italy: Air One, Meridiana
Kazakhstan: Air Astana
Kyrgyzstan: Kyrgyzstan Airlines
Lithuania: FlyLAL/Lithuanian (defunct)
Maldive Islands: Air Maldives (defunct)
Mali: Compagnie Aerienne du Mali/Air Mali
Malta: Air Malta

Uruguay: Atlantida Lineas Aereas Sudamericana
Venezuela: Conviasa
Yemen: Yemenia
Zambia: Zambian Airways (defunct)

It's really amazing how many obscure airlines Aeroclassics has gotten to.

Very interesting and informative list. As a brazilian I will add some more:

# Panair do Brasil
# Webjet

#ARGENTINA: besides LAN Argentina there is LAPA.


Thanks.

Thank you for the kind words; I added those suggestions. I put Panair in bold; I cannot believe AeroClassics did not make a model for them. It was a very important carrier.

I do ask that people don't quote the whole list in their reply; it gets big.

2) The Trident Doesn't Count For Iraqi To Me Since It's Not The Dark Green Scheme.
The 707 Only Really Counts As One, Since They Look Identical Ecept the Cargo Titles. So Does The IL-76.

Iraqi Is Still Rather Underepresented. An SP Would Pick Up The Slack But There Are Several Variants Of The Dark Green Livery For The 737 & At Least 2For The 727 And One Other Variant For The 707, Then There's The 762.
