The SIA 744 seems to have unpainted wings. No go for me.

At least they did a much better research job on the tail compared to Inflight...

Nice ones Robert. The 'militarised' A330 is interesting, Is that the same model as they had in ARD? Anything in SIA's livery looks cool.

Plastic models can be nice but those two just look cheap.

Looks like the Airbus tail is having structural failure. RAF should have bought Boeing.

Does the MRRT have gear down or option to buy landing gear and retro-fit? If not, I'm out
