Model Review - Egyptair Airbus A340-300 by Phoenix

[YesterAirlines]

This model dates from last year but only joined my collection recently and is a good example of some of the good work Phoenix has been doing for the A340-300 in the last 12 months. While I expect the new NG moulds to be better when they finally get to market, the Phoenix A330/340 remains one of their best moulds and is still very competitive, especially when the subject matter is so unusual:

Since June 2023 Phoenix Models have made or announced 11 A340-300s as part of their rebirth and realignment of their releases. These have included an excellent diversity of airlines such as Air Mauritius, Kuwait Airways, Syrianair, Air Lanka and others. G

Definitely a very good-looking model. I'm a strong supporter of the Phoenix A340/A330 mould, and will continue to buy from them even after NG's comes out. Thanks for sharing!

Very nice model by Phoenix. The A340-300 looks very good in this livery.

Would be super nice to see Phoenix doing this one now!



I thought only Dragon had released this one, but database shows me that Aeroclassics also did it. Well, I guess it's hard to find and probably expensive, so this one being released by Phoenix would be very cool.

Licensing is always an issue with TAP because they actively go after people making their models.

I actually have the TAP Aeroclassics version myself.

Yup, easily my favorite scheme on an A340. The Aeroclassics version is the typical pain in the rear to find at a sensible price, so I had to go with DW. Will gladly replace it, or add another one.
