Default USAirways 330-300/Flying 332 MEA

This new livery goes well with the A333 frame.



















My first attempt at taking inflight pics.

Hey airbusroller, can you confirm if your MEA A330 has a slot for the stand?

It does have a slot for the ability to put it on a stand. I just had to go over it in order to erase part of the image to make look like it's really standing free.

Very nice shots~ I love the very last picture!! Thanks for sharing.

I love all the A330 made by HE or HG. After seeing your pictures, the US Airways is going straight onto my list now~

Thanks, glad to share. I also am in love with all the A330's made by both companies. I wish one day Herpa makes a Premium A330, or Gemini moves to make wide bodies, specially the A330 or A340 a/c.

I got my US Airways A330 today. Unfortunately, when I was getting ready to glue the landing gear on, I somehow put it down wrong and broke the stand so part of it was snapped off inside the plane. And then I screwed up the bottom of the model trying to get the piece out. It's a very sad day.

My model is still sweet, as long as I don't look at the bottom of it. But I can't put it on a stand anymore.

I tell ya, these babies are so delicate, one needs to come home, relax a bit with some tranquil music, breathe normally, meditate, chant and then once totally relaxed try to fix these awesome jets together.... Welcome to the "I broke my jet while fixing it after it arrived" club

Wow such damage to the US Airways Airbus A330....I've broken wheel gears, detached engines, but a stand, that is one thing I cannot say I have done.

The 1st MEA pic looks like one of those Airbus promo shots and computer generated images.
