Thats quite a bit of money your willing to spend Brennan!!!
I personally wouldn't spend more than $20 on a model(yet they aren't that cheap I think) but if it was really something then...

Well again.
I would buy the B1900d for around $30-$40 It isn't wood so the model isn't worth as much.
Man I would love an air NZ B1900d.
If selling in real life i would guess:
Air Nz Beech $40, ATR $50/60
DHL $60
Emirates $40
RNZAF 1:100 $60, 1:150 $40
Thai $60/70
In other words it depends on how big the model. e.g. the bigger the more expensive.
It also depends on the quality (e.g. how well painted and modeled; is it accurate or are there weird lumps etc.)

haven't been made YET
I haven't seen any Eagle Beech 1900D models or any RNZAF 757's or any MounCook ATR's, so would be highly collectible

This is what the Emirates 777-200 1:200 scale looks like. The metal stand and wooden base shown in the picture, is what all of them would have.
This is just a little teaser.

I had a rethink of prices.
Using sky marks models as an idea (their models resemble your closest).
All prices NZD but these would be around waht they would be worth in U.S.A
ATR-72 = $50-60 (a little more than Skymarks as it is slightly bigger)
757 = 1:100 = $50-60 (again a little more than sky marks as it is bigger)
777 = 1:200 = $50-60
757 = 1:150 = $40-50
747 = 1:150 = $60-70
Like I said this is around how much they'd be if you found them in a store in the U.S. but in N.Z. they'd go for a bit more as they are hard to get in N.Z. Trade Me will be your best bet as that is where you'll get the most for them. But you may want to try Ebay as Ebay would allow the whole world to buy them probably meaning more $ spent as people tend to spend in their own currency (e.g. an English person would spend a lot more in N.Z. than a Malaysian person because of what the different currencies are worth)

hmmmm interesting, those are the prices I had in mind also. You're right trademe would be the best indicator as to how much they are worth with a $1 reserve auction.
