Royal Thai Air Force A340-541

[RayS]

I just watched a lovely sight landing at Canberra Airport (it's nice to have a window seat next to the southern approach path!)

I know Siam decals do a few RTAF VIP subjects but I now must find some for this one. Are there any decals around for this? it was delivered tot eh RTAF in April last year.

That is a kick arse-looking Airbus!!!!. I love that scheme.
Maybe Richard. W in the UK can knock up some custom decals for her, (I know I would be up for a set or two).
What kit would you use??

I have a Braz A340-600 conversion for an Etihad -600 that I wanted to build. But I can't get the decals for it. I would have to chop down the -600 fuselage to make it a -500 though, along with a Revell A330 or 340 of course.

Apparently the A340-500 is over-powered to buggery......sort of like the SP of the A340 world.

Unlike the -300 which was underpowered to the same degree

It's here for the Thais' latest grog run. Gonna need all that power to haul the 5 packed pallets worth back home.

I was dispatching a Dash 8 when it landed - awesome sight from the ramp - I just couldn't get my phone's camera on quick enough for a pic.

Almost "SNAP" as Graeme and I were only discussing -500s and -600s over the phone on Monday night.

Be interesting to see what he has to say about the -500 ...

Plenty of images on the Canberra Plane Spotters Facebook page. Seems half of the lurking spotting community were out and about when it landed..

hmmm.. nice shot

Yes......sometimes I do appreciate Airbus's.

Could part of that possibly be due to if you only glance at it or look at it from a distance it looks like a CFM56 powered 707?
