Maybe because its design is quite similar to Boeing's? Just saying....
I know, I like 4 engines, it just looks right on the wings. But that -600 just doesn't look right, it's way too long. (And yeah, I was never too high with the stretched DC-8's either)
Very nice Jean-Pierre, I am thinking about buying this beauty, I still have the gemini release from some years ago but this one shall be better. Do you also have the gemini for comparison?

Correct, the only wide bodied four engine airplane from Boeing is the 747. There is no boeing comparible to the looks of the A340. It has the typical Airbus nose as on the A300, 310 and 330.

Wide body, skinny body, long body, short body, anybody, somebody, who cares. It looks like a friggin' Boeing. Let it go.
Nope

I have few A330's/340's of this new mould, have to admit is the best around. Thanks for sharing.
Just wondering JP, how many aircraft are in your AF fleet?

How come the A330/340 share the same wingspan even though the need for 4 engines are null on the 330? And also, the nacelles are so close to the fuselage on the 330 making their length look even more exaggerated? Enquiring minds want to know...

Hello Tom.
No I don't.
Hoping for some improvements of the model I did not buy it.
The Gemini model sits too high on its landing dear and if I remember well, I was not too happy with the wing flex / dihedral.
The wing tips being too high above the ground.
If you are not running out of space, you won't be disappointed with the Inflight model.
Another A340, F-GLZA, was released by Inflight some weeks ago with the previous barcode livery.

Hello Modestos.
I have 100 AF models from 1933, creation of AF, to today.
Some of them are custom made.
I love my collection, it tells the story of my airline.

For what I know, this was done to cut developping costs. The A330 and 340 were developped simultanious hence the wings are the same. The engine postitions on the A330 is the same as the inner engines on the 340. Originally the A340 was devellopped for long haul and the 330 for medium range. Now the A330 has outlived the 340 and has a much longer range.
If someone can add to this then youre welcome to do so

Thank you. Am seriously thinking of replacing the gemini for the inflight.
