What scale is this model?
I have a 747 in 1:600 with the exact type of stand.

This could be the answer, but I'm not 100% about it.
A China-based airplane model manufacturer called Shantou Yonghang Model Airplane Factory uses YH as trademark.
If correct, these planes are inexpensive imitations of various scales that are all over Manila. Very afordable at around USD 6.00 in Manila stores.
The look catchy at first... colors and printing are nice an all, but if you let the models stand on the gear, they tend to sit only on the main gear while the nose gear hangs about 3 millimeters from the surface. This is common with their 747s and 777s.
The have nice 757s, only the cockpit windows arent accurate.
They come up with the hideous models at times... their gearless A320 (sold onboard Cebu Pacific) looks like a retard plane.
