Aircraft Models Crux

Last time, I expressed my wish for a Cebu Pacific A320. Today I present four stunning airplane models that I am seriously considering buying through credit card.

The first plane is the Herpa Cebu Pacific B757-200 (pictured above):

Carrier: Cebu Pacific
Aircraft: Boeing 757-200
Scale: 1:500
Price: $24.95

This is definitely on the top of my list. I’ve always wanted greater tourism initiatives for the Philippines, and this model exemplifies it, showcasing some of Manila’s sights such as the calesa, the Rizal Monument, and Fort Santiago, among others. You can see this model “in action” (on a model airport, that is) here.

The second plane is the Phoenix Cebu Pacific (”Yellow-Tropical”) DC-9-30:

Carrier: Cebu Pacific
Aircraft: McDonnell Douglas DC-9-30
Scale: 1:400
Price: $29.95

This is tropical livery at its finest! Not to mention it fits Cebu Pacific’s own colors, namely yellow, green, and blue. Oddly enough, this plane reminds me of Boracay, which is part of my clan’s home province. Maybe it’s the sun, the palm trees, and the sea…but of course. Silly me.

The third plane is the Phoenix Cebu Pacific (”Blue-Fish”) DC-9-30:

Carrier: Cebu Pacific
Aircraft: McDonnell Douglas DC-9-30
Scale: 1:400
Price: $29.95

This one’s the most soothing of ‘em all. The color scheme kind of reminds me of our Ituloy AngSulong blog, hehe. This livery makes sense, as the Philippines is surrounded by seas…of which I actually have a fear of. Curse myself for not taking my swimming lessons seriously.

Last but not the least, we have Phoenix Cebu Pacific (”Orange-Fruit”) DC-9-30:

Carrier: Cebu Pacific
Aircraft: McDonnell Douglas DC-9-30
Scale: 1:400
Price: $29.95

I must admit, this model doesn’t strike me as much as the other three did. Maybe I just don’t like its hue of gold/yellow/orange. The eagle near the plane’s cockpit is a great touch, though.
