richellis Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Just flown on an A330 and want to build a model, the Revell A330 is between rocking horse 💩 and hens teeth to find, can you convert the equally hard to find A340 with Braz engines? also, any sign of another kit being available of this aircraft?

Yes, the Revell kits are the same apart from the engine sprue and the the fuselage main gear leg for the A340. 23 minutes ago, richellis said: any sign of another kit being available of this aircraft? That's it for the classic in 1/144 as far as I know. Eastern Express are doing later versions (A330-900 NEO and A340-600) and Titan are doing A330 kits in 1/72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamessssshoughton Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Authentic airliners do a resin 1/144 a330-200 with whichever engine option you like Just looked they also do the a330-300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richellis Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Thanks, looking at the price of Revell kits the correct Authentic Airliner isn’t bad value. would anyone know if Virgin have RR engines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After checking various images on the web; I can say YES, Virgin's A330s have RR engines!

richellis Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 Thanks, I’ve been offered an A340 kit and will use some Braz bits to convert it, with TwoSix or Authentic Airliners window and doors, and custom decals for the Virgin Atlantic livery.

I'm also in the same situation. I have 2 Revell A340-300 kits, and I'm gonna convert 1 of them into an A330-223. Tail will be from Braz and decals from F-Dcal.
