It's for the stand and luxury package

So, is there now a difference between Ultimate and luxury package? Or is that the same thing, and they suck and labeling

Boggles my mind they’ve still haven’t done, and will never do, one in the regular old livery.

Unfortunately the Phoenix mould is not without it's issues: the cockpit windows are a bit too large, but an even bigger issue is the shape of the cockpit area is too wide. Additionally, the wings on the A340-600 & 500 moulds are swept too far back.

If HX Models can fix the cockpit print (too large as well), nose shape (slightly too blunt) and nosegear height, it will be a worthy successor for the Phoenix A340-500/600 mould. The wing sweep angle is already miles above Phoenix's rendition.

UPDATE:
After receiving my HX models Etihad Airways A340-600, I the cockpit window printing is not too large (maybe slightly, it's still more accurate than the too-small NG / Panda A330/A340 cockpit printing and similar in size to the Phoenix & JC A330/340 printing). The nose gear isn't too short either; the wheel is too large, giving the impression it is too short. The only major issue is the shape of the nose: it is too blunt.

By making measurements, I found the sweep of phoenix A346/5 wings is about 35 degrees; instead it should be around 30 degrees which is a the same as the A343/2 and A330 family. This is definitely stopping me to buy more releases using this loud. The issue is unacceptable to me as 5 degrees is such a large difference in wing design. Just imagine buying a MiG15 model but fitted with a mig17 wings Lmao.

Of course the wing area should be larger than the A330 and A343; but the sweep needs to be the same
