I own a 1:100 PacMin of the Northwest 747 Worldplane (flanked by 1:100 TriStars of PSA and Hawaiian by Bader). My PM could easily be the most cool model in my entire collection.

oh man now i definately need a PIA Pacmin model preferably a B777-200 !

Pacmin has been around for ages (search this site for some threads) ... they typically do projects for the airframe mfg (boeing, et al) or a particular airline. they have a section on thier website that lists all the airline stores .. in the US jetstreamsusa is the offical dist.

I have about 15 of their models ... they are very nice.

If you want a bit more of an ability to customize you can go to atlantic models .. you sacrifice some of the quality, but you can get made exactly what you want.

thanks presidential i have been looking at Atlantic models but i dont know how they models value?

are the models painted and wood like the Phillipines custom mahogany models?

or are they solid resin models?

i would appreciate someone who has bought any models from Atlantic models to give me they views please before i spend a load of cash on them.

thanks

Atlantic is okay, not great but kind of average in accuracy. Pacmin is very good but some of their 777 and 747-400 models have a problem with warped wings.
Space Models in the UK are fantastic but they only sell to corporations.
Check Ebay. Several months ago someone had a Pacmin PIA 777-300 in the early 90s scheme for sale.

oh man i missed out on that PIA Pacmin 777-300! do you know how much it went for?

i am keeping a close eye on ebay.

about space models do they website?

i think i may wait and keep saving up money

funbird · 04-12-2007, 12:36 AM

Space Models has a website I believe.
The PIA 777-300 went for $290-300.
There is one seller on Ebay who does a lot of sales of Pacmin airplanes.
You shouldn't have to pay more than $300.00 for any 777/747 1/100 scale Pacmin model.

funbird · 04-12-2007, 06:26 PM

I think the seller had the word Pacmin in his/her username but I'm not entirely certain.

Hi,
To give you some idea of the quality of their models, check out my collection website:
Pacific Miniatures Model Collection
Might help you see just how fabulous these models are in all kinds of sizes/liveries!
Hope you find a PIA 777 model, I will PM you if I have one available soon!
Best regards

GREAT COLLECTION you have there must have cost a bit of money.

I appreciate if you would contact me if you find anything PIA. Thanks
where did you get these models from?

funbird · 04-14-2007, 02:05 PM

Samee another very good model maker is AMI. They are located somewhere in England. AMI rivals Pacmin and Space Models in quality.
Try either of these two emails.
ami.phelps@virgin.net
office.phelps@virgin.net

They can probably do a custom made 1/100 scale PIA 777 for you.

samee380 · 04-14-2007, 03:49 PM

i have emailed them and they email addresses are wrong both of them dont work. i managed to find they website possibly but they seem to have problems with it. look at link Areospace Scale Model Makers. AMI Models

i emailed them on the email address on they website lets see what happens

funbird · 04-14-2007, 04:06 PM

Ok yeah that website is the same company. Give them a try or even call them up.

SPEEDEMON · 04-14-2007, 06:07 PM

Guys don't forget Conquest Models. I’m a PacMin collector, but I am waiting on (Conquest) for their new 747-400 mould their going to releasing soon. From what I can see they are really at the top of the echelon.

CONQUEST MODELS

funbird · 04-15-2007, 12:53 AM

That's Peter Jackson's site. I've talked to him many times over the past few years. That giant 1/36 777-200 is currently residing in Saudi Arabia. As for the price of that model....well let's just say it's a kings ransom but what a model!
Contact Peter for any custom modeling as well.

samee380 · 04-15-2007, 06:35 AM

i actually asked about the Saudi B777 model and Peter said it is priced at £16,000.

But normal scale 1/100 models are about £695 which is still too expensive for me! They have nice models!!!

SPEEDEMON · 04-16-2007, 12:12 AM

The 1/72 Trident Three is pretty awsome also, especailly with everything being that detailed!

samee380 · 04-16-2007, 08:55 AM

btw is this website working for anybody else? it isnt for me
Areospace Scale Model Makers. AMI Models
