Revell Airbus A340-300

[RayS]

Here is another one that has been cluttering my version of Victorville for a while.

A Revell A340-300. I saw a nice build over at ARC where the inboard pylons were corrected. The engines hung too low so I had to do it with mine.

Pylons removed from the nacelles



Pylons attached after removing about 2mm from the lower edge, of course some putty is involved and has to be cleaned up when set



I did not take many early progress shots.





Here is is how is stands now



I have filled some cabin windows



and added some antennas, lumps and bumps



and finally test fitted the engines to check sit and ground clearance

Cracker effort there Ray. That looks really cool

Lovely Ray, must confess never knew about the inner pylon, top job fixing it up
What scheme are thining of, please oh please don't do that POS Adagold dirty white whale that comes through here all the time
Did you see the LAN one on Britmodeller, and I have the Finnair Angry Birds decal sheet for mine
I would have thought that would be a no brainer for you

Looking good Ray .
Thanks for "heads up" on required engine mod......I have one in the stash to do as a Qantas WIF, (based upon an unsolicited proposal by Airbus some years ago), and I would not have known about this required correction had you not mentioned it, (that's the value of these model sites I guess).
Like Graeme, I too would be interested to know what colours she will wear.

I saw the nice LAN airbus on BM, nicely done indeed! I got the engine pylon mods from a build on ARC. It was a nice Air Tahiti Nui scheme.

I am not a fan of the current Finnair scheme Graeme. I had thought about it but I found another scheme of interest. I have a couple of Finnair builds to do in their earlier schemes.

Nice work Ray!

That's an attractive colour scheme Ray.....I also like the French Air Force A340 colour scheme.

..which is also planned. I have the A340 to chop up to a -200 but apparently the cuts are different to an A330-200

Engines fitted





and the decal sheet I am using
