About this creation

This is a rebuilt model of my original a340-600. Still in South African Airways colours. I have also included the 'South African' titles on the fuselage.

I have tried to use as many wedge pieces in the model as possible, to give it cleaner and smoother lines.

Also the wings have been completely rebuilt since the first model, although they may not look like it. The wings now have a larger surface area, along with longer engines (lengthened by one lego stud). There is also 3 main gear bogeys now rather than the initial 2 main bogeys.

The length of the model is alot more realistic from the 1st model. The model also has larger horizontal stabilizers than the 1st model.

These colours arew only temperary as intend to change the colours in to the spanish airline, Iberia (red, orange, yellow, and white).

The model is slightly too thin. The fuselage needs to be 1 or 2 pegs wider, which I am not prepared to do
