Hi everyone

i am new to this site having just started collecting again after a 10 year
gap. i bought a 1/300 malaysia b747 in great colour scheme with
an experiance redefined on the side, my question is this , how common is this size and model?
i dont recall seeing this size before in the phoenix range .

ps ,great site i am learning and spending too much money after reading all your posts!!!

topsox · 06-03-2008, 06:09 AM

nobody?

i didnt think it was that rare that nobody would reply?!

Are you sure that it's not 1:400?

1:300 is extremely uncommon, and I don't think that there is a mould for a 747 in 1:300

According to a search of the database, the model does not exist.

I know the 1/300 Phoenix 747 and they do exist...

These 1/300 747 models came up few years ago, when there were not yet 1/200 scale die cast 747 available. The smaller scale 1/300 was more suitable for making such big birds out of die cast metal. Maybe it was also an attempt for a smaller step in scaling from 1/400 to 1/300 instead of moving directly to 1/200.
Nowadays Inflight is floating the market with various 747 types in 1/200 as well as many other new a/c types in this scale and the 1/300 is practically disappeared.

Apart from the Phoenix 747 also Hogan/Herpa made a 747 in same scale 1/300. I have the LH (Herpa) and the Eva (Hogan). They match nicely the Aero Mini 747 in scale 1/290, which I also have, and they are standing side by side in the glass cabinet.

you should take some pictures! ive never seen a malaysia hibiscus in 1:300! is it by hogan? are you sure its by phoenix? phoenix does have 1:300 stuff from the old days though.

ive seen the hogan JAL 747 and EVA Koala 747 before! simply stunning models!

Thanks for the replies , it is a phoenix 1/300 it came in a black box with a hinge type opening with ribbon on one side. it is a stunning model and i was lucky to come across it! i will try to post some pictures . Bear with me as i am new to the forum .

Yes there are phoenix 1/300 747s. I have a KLM one. They also made a JAL I think. As stated above, 1/200 is expanding fast and 1/300 no more developed. As I am also heading to 1/200, I will probably end up selling it some day. Beautiful model and great box
