Got one 1:400 scale model of a QF A380 and another model of an AI 744 (VT-AIQ) . The cost for the two came upto 1400 and 1200 INR respectively. This is my first time buying a scale model (well it was rather impulsive spurt of shopping!!). Do you guys think the prices are OK or did I just pay a lot?!!

They used to be crap (in 400 scale) but recently they have been somewhat better in quality with better variety in releases. Some other good ones are Gemini Jets, Phoenix, Dragon Wings, and AeroClassics.
