I’ve been hoping for a China Airlines A330-300, but since they only had two with Rolls-Royce engines(and they were in service for a very short time), I’d really rather see the more common GE-powered version.

Windshield window prints are too small. It looks noticeably worse than than Panda / NG.

Hope they get these 340’s spot on!

I wouldn't hold my breath judging by the pictures of their A330s.

From what I've seen so far these Kylin A330s look like they're the best on the market in 2026 aside from the NGs. I hope to see them in person soon.

The China airlines colours look a bit dark though

I’ve noticed the gap where the A340 engine 1/4 pylon would be should be painted on the A330

Yes, that's an A340 wing mould.

 

[_KAviation]

Yes, that's an A340 wing mould.

Unless they are releasing a China Airlines A340-300 in addition to the A330, given the fact the A330 and A340-200/300 share the same wing.

Right (Chinese and Far East), even if Finnair A340-300 ruins everything!

Almost. The 330 has a different LE-slat arrangement compared to a 340 due to engine pylons 1/4 as you correctly pointed out. Though Kylin is in good company as NG for example neither has a correct 330 wing. For sure a very minor mould detail.
Will be interesting to see whether this will be just an incorrectly painted China Airlines 330 or a proper 340.

What I noticed is that this A330 mould has the similar problem on wingbox fairing shape as the aeroclassic/pm mould

I asked one of the Kylin retailers, and he replied that is indeed a 340 mould. Kylin accepts customization requests from airlines and other parties.

I'm surprised at the cost of Kylin models - they're at par or in many cases even more than NG's - looking at MHH.
