The late 1980s and early 1990s are a curiously poorly represented period in 1:400 scale. NG Models has been making good use of its 757 to fill the gap but there are large numbers of MD-80s, early A320s and 737 classics that have been neglected. Panda already has an excellent 737-300 but hasn’t been using it as much as I’d like. Now they are producing a series 400, which is a major gap in production. Here’s a look at what they ought to make with the new casting.
The Boeing 737-400 has to be about as close to an average airplane as any can get. A simple stretch of the series 300 it entered service late enough to avoid the glory that the 300 acquired in reimagining the 737 line and lacked the range to make it a true contender in the US market. Even so nearly 500 of the type were produced and it has seen service with a wide range of airlines.
I’ve updated this list for 2026 to remove liveries done in the past 7 years.
