I read Vistara will soon have Hogan 1/200 A320 models for sale onboard.

I read the same on a twitter reply from Vistara that they are going to be launching scale models soon.

I have the same indigo scale model but was looking for the sharklet wings edition as well.

Nearly impossible now, unless you know someone in Indigo. Please post pics of your Indigo A320 model. Hogan or Premier Planes brand?

Re: Scale Models - Aircraft, Battle Tanks & Ships

Found this on eBay if anyone is interested:

1/150 VISTARA TATA SIA AIRLINES A320

https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-150-VISTA...oAAOSwJAVdrE8k

Seems to be very rare, never have I seen a Vistara model that too a special livery.

It's still visible for me, perhaps you need to sign in to eBay. Sometimes many eBay products are not visible for me also
when I try on a mobile browser.

Thats a great narrow body collection

Did you buy the Indigo A320 onboard a flight? if so when? Its 100x better than the Lupo A320 model skanchan and I have.

Excellent set of photos!!!

Your Hogan Indigo A320 still is a much sought after model, as it was the best Indigo model in the 1/200 scale sold onboard (the other two manufactured by Lupa & Premier Planes were very poor in comparison). Sad that your Indigo model has a broken port wingtip fence, hope you can do some improvisation to fix it. Your Air India A320Neo looks fantastic as well. I hope to add it to my collection soon.

Thanks Guys

Sadly I dont know how the port wing tip got damaged and looking for replacement wing, still searching if I can get my hands on a sharklet wings edition.

Air India A320Neo or Air India A320 Classic that were the options available and I choose to pick the NEO.

I got the Indigo from my friend and that triggered another chapter of aviation collection apart from scale model cars.

Don't replace the whole wing, you might not the same level of detailing( emergency exit arrow markings/paint , stencils on the wing etc). What I suggest is to try and cut out the shape of the wingtip fence from a piece of hard plastic or cardboard (using the other wing), paint it dark blue and stick it there. I know it is very hard to do it as the size of the wingtip fence is very small/

Thanks for the tip, I think I just got myself with a weekend project

I have a good friend here in Mumbai who sources scale models, I Pick them up from him.

I have asked him to look for Jet Airways, Spice jet (Not the one with the cabin crew faces on the aircraft).

I wish we could get all Indian carriers ATR's as well.

There were a couple of Jet Airways 1:200 737-800s from Bbox brand. Don't think one is available anywhere now.even if they are, they will cost a bomb. Your best bet would be a Jet Airways 737 MAX 8 from Hogan. Aeroclassics made a Jet Airways MAX 8 in 1:400 scale. JC Wings cancelled theirs.

I have the entire fleet type operated by Jet Airways in my collection(1:200). The ATR-72 is the odd one out at a slightly bigger 1:150 scale
