Mike Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Hello folks of the civil persuasion I've just finished refitting my workshop, and I found a small clear sprue lying on the floor tonight, which bears the number 4214 (E) and carries two parts. The canopy is part 90, and there's a clear stand/prong marked 91. I've got a few civil kits in the stash, and more than a couple have passed through as review samples, most of them being Revell but I'm clueless as to what it's from. Any ideas?

tomprobert Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) I’d take a guess that’s a Revell 1/144 Airbus A330/A340... Edited January 23, 2020 by tomprobert 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooh.... if that's the case, I don't have one of those, so I now need to give a canopy to one of the reviewers.... probably John AFAIK I have a Beluga, an A380 and a Super Guppy from the civil persuasion and I didn't think it was any of those.

Mike Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 Footnote - could it be something like a C-17, A400M or other military type but with a civilian stylee canopy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomprobert Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Could well be from the Beluga in that case - as it’s based on the A300 the cockpit window arrangement is more or less the same as the A330/340 family. It’s definitely not from an A380 - or Super Guppy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 I'll have a squint. I'd hate to lose it, as I want to build that because I see it most weeks on its run in or take off from Hawarden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRK4m Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Revell A340 is absolutely sure https://www.scalemates.com/pl/products/img/1/8/8/144188-44-instructions.pdf Cheers Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I just have to find out where the hell that kit is today, and right now I have no clue! 1 minute ago, Richard E said: The catalogue number of Revell's Lufthansa Airbus A340-300 is 04214 I did do a search on that initially, and it didn't come up with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Hold on to that clear support stand. I use things like that a lot, and not just on airliners. I find clear sprue support stands a nice way to make my models not sit on their tails. And because they're clear you really don't see 'em unless you're looking for them. I've had issues with weights coming loose inside a model after I've secured them and it's kinda frustrating to have them rattling around inside while I'm sanding. So, I steer clear of weights. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
