This morning I found a replacement, brand new, sealed in box, Thai Airlines A330-300 in London this morning for 26 pounds delivered, which works out $20.00 cheaper than the cancelled order, though I will still have to find the replacement GE engines. I'll worry about that later.

Anyone want two sets of Thai Airlines A330-300 decals, lol.

I call bollocks. There were 2 in the pic you posted from the Hobbyman for $36.95 IIRC. So what's your next excuse? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The Airfix 737’s? They don’t say 200 on them so I had no idea. You know me, they all look the same to me, some just have more engines than others.

Just had another look at those photos, they are 737-100’s, not 200’s. Might be the same thing, but i’d be stuffed I could tell the difference. I need a chart.

I read the wiki page for 747’s the other day and still had to write Ray a message to ask questions on the differences.

The Airfix kit is definitely a 737-200 every day of the week. -100's are about 2m shorter than -200's. Here's a chart that I found for you too mate. Hopefully it's reasonably accurate :)

Thanks Paul. I’ll print that off at work tomorrow. Now I need one for the rest of th 7xx’s.

Back to the A330, you will not flipping believe this. I just got a refund for the kit I bought online this morning, saying they’re sorry, but they don’t have one in stock anymore and their online store was wrong. Screw it. I’ve had enough of these Airbus moments. Unless I see one IRL, I’m not buying another one!

Well technically you can't buy another one until you have bought your first one!
