Can anyone guess whats different about this picture.
No, its not a photoshop job

Do you buy the models as one complete part, or is it like an airfix, albeit rather more complex?
Can some very nice person on the forum translate the entire website, into English, so those that don’t speak German can read it? lol

BTW, there were two reasons I eventually suspected a model:
1. No ground on either photo and length/width ratios that suggested cropping.
2. This one will mark me as a real saddo, but I couldn’t find another pic of a Thai 330 without the P&W badges on the engines and the Star Alliance logos.

By: Britannia - 20th February 2004 at 18:09
Something to do with the doors?
