Aeroclassics, Ukraine International 737-200: UR-GAC

Ukraine International operated three 737-200s from 1994 until 2005. Two of them, including this one, UR-GAC were received from Chinese airlines. This airplane arrived in the Ukraine in 1994 and remained with the fleet until 2005 making it the fleet senior. I've been working on my Ukrainian section and I was pretty excited to see this model released, but there is one major detractor that's been a recurring issue for Aeroclassics.

UR-GAC was originally delivered to Western Airlines in 1984. It saw service with over a half-dozen airlines. It finally retired from service in 2010 with Peruvian Airlines. It's apparently still stored at Lima. The model itself is good for the most part but is flat out ruined by the nose. Aeroclassics have had a known and continuing problem with poor finishing work and this model more closely resembles an A220. I also think that there are some issues with the cockpit printing as well. It seems the usual trend with AC in 1/400 continues. They are almost great regularly.
