Virgin Atlantic A330 questions


Recommended Posts

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.

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

Thanks, looking at the price of Revell kits the correct Authentic Airliner isn’t bad value.

would anyone know if Virgin have RR engines?

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

I think he wants to do one he’s flown on and the a330-200 left the fleet in 2018 I think 🤔 don’t quote me on that however 

Hi,

yea it’s a 330-3 VGEM out and VLUV return I was on.

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.
