1980s Cathay Pacific model planes question

Hello. I have two model Cathay Pacific planes in fairly poor condition, Transfers are worn and chipped and some engines are missing from one of them. One is a Lockheed TriStar L-1011VR-HHX and the other a Boeing 747-267B VR-HKG They are both in the lettuce leaf livery, probably 1980s. They appear to be made of wood or resin and are quite solid and heavy. If I could have any info on these such as the composition and manufacturer and if they are if any value to a collector I would be very grateful. Thank you.

They look like the sort of model that would have been in a travel agents window display or shop. Given the condition I doubt they wre worth much, but I don't know much at all about these kind of models. I suspect there'd be a Cathay collector out there that would be interested in the Tristar at least. The 747 is perhaps beyond help missing so many engines and with wing damage.

Thank you. Yes they could have been display models as I can't find much about them through a search. I do have two Rolls Royce engines so just missing one. The wing damage was where someone tried to glue one of the engines back on and made a bit of a mess.
