Great news, IMHO the prettiest variant in the A350 range. And if the molding is as good as it usually is with Zvezda, I will bin the -900 Revell kit and shrink the Zvezda kit.

 

Too bad they put an end to the "Ultimate" dirty wing standard, I guess the sales did not improve notably. Anyway, better new quality and simple kits than no kits at all.

Sorry to bring up an older thread, but it's nice to see how the fan blades have been moulded. Not like the revell idea of attaching each individual fan blade to the sprue. This zvezda idea is much better

I'm not sure what you mean. I've built the Revell 350 and there were not individual fan blades, but two disks of blades you put together. Actually looking the same as Zvezda's. 😕

He means that with the Revell one, each blade was attached to the sprue and the chances to brake one was obviously higher...

Also less sanding to do on the parts :D

Absolutely this mate. :). I didnt explain it too well. But glad you understood :)

Hi Guys,

 

I recently bought both kits and I am now very surprised. Both have exactly the same wing parts and these correspond to the dimensions of Revells A350-900 from 2013...

 

This means that the A350-1000, which Zvezda first released in 2019, already had the too small wings of the -900 (???), because their dimensions already correspond exactly to those of the Revell kit.

 

Zvezda even mentions the actually larger wings in the description of the aircraft... What went wrong? 🤨

My info is from the Company Manuals, not the website.

I won't publish a screenshot, but the paragraph I've quoted from states "Applicable to: ALL", i.e. it doesn't differentiate between the types. 

When there is a difference, it specifies Manufacturers  Serial Number "Applicable to: MSN 0XXX-0YYY" 

Or type "Applicable to: -900"

I stand corrected
