vivkulan Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Hello, I recenlty bought the 1/144 Revell A340 kit and realized that it is not the long fuselage version. I would like to build it in the long fuselage version though. After looking through several posts here and in ARC. I found that there are several changes thats needs to take place inorder to depict the longer fuselage aircraft(Wings, fuselage extension, engines etc). I know there is an expensive resin option in BraZ kit. Is there is a cheaper option out there. I saw some efforts by using balsa plugs which can take care of the fuselage extension but not sure if anything can be done for the engine and wings. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Vivek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pperkins Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) Braz kit is the only conv on the market the other issue is the wings are wider at the route Edited October 24, 2011 by pperkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richellis Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 It can be done, and I will do it. You need 2 kits, and some engines off a Revell An124. I have the engines sorted and I am awaiting some bits off Busdriver from the A340 to do the work on the fuselage and wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
