It is up to collectors to vote with their wallets but far too many people really seem to have little clue, or care, about what they are buying.

JC Wings have also just released a Jet Airways 737 MAX-8
Karan is right though. Indian air carriers are under-represented and they sell well when they are available. Phoenix did an Air India 772 years ago with too much of a faded look, Gemini did an Air India 773 back in 2010 on its now very-outdated 777 mould, and besides a smattering of Jet Airways models, no one has touched IndiGo or Spicejet. Somehow a lot of the more obscure Chinese carriers make it out before an Indian airline does. I get the finance part and bias towards their own national carriers, but it's not like these models won't sell.

P.S. In the same vein, I'll also begrudgingly give credit to Aeroclassics for putting out an Air India A310
