I don't reccomend asking the airlines for models. Ask for "Memorabilia, Aviation Collectable, etc.), and hope you'll get a model. I'm pretty sure the airliners will think you're greedy, and won't send anything if you just ask for models.
Good Luck!

I received a little B747-400 plastic snap model from Thai. I also received a Schabak A310 model from Air Niugini. I didn't ask for models, I just asked for "something from your airline for my collection".

"Can you please advise me if *AIRLINE* sells models of the aircraft in it livery, what types you have available (if at all), and how much they cost"
I have gotten FREE models from the following:
Fischer Air 737-300 (snap-together)
