From memory :

A330-300 is 6 windows forward and 4 windows aft.

A340-200 is 4 and 4 (which by simple engineering is probably why it didn't need a new tail!).

Thanks to Russ French, I have secured a set of refueling pods, tail boom and other lumps and bumps. The tail as I said earlier I have found on eBay. Decals may be a job for my portrait cutter when the time comes.

Are you sure that is the kit or just a decal?

EDIT :

Wasn't this was it?

There is this one still open for bidding from Bulgaria

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Revell-kit- ... SwtH9bJsVh

This boxing has both engines
Wouldn't go crazy on the price though, bidding gets frantic in the last 5 minutes, ask Ansett A330

As an alternative you can always use an A340, just need 2 GE Engines for it, either from an A330 kit or resin ones, the plastic is basically the same.

Ahh, he doesn't have a kit, he has bought a decal!

The A340 idea is a good one, they may be easier to find. I can't believe the prices on eBay at the moment for A330 and A340 kits.

Haven't seen one in the flesh but it certainly looks the part from the photos ...
