Quick bit of fun. There's obviously been some chat about the Kylin A330 recently so I thought I'd whip up a quick photo comparison of it with 2 other 400 scale A330s. But which ones and which one's which? It just so happens I own an Air China example of each, which makes it harder to identify based on the release.

I have removed the aerials to make it slightly harder too. Equally interesting is the fact that the belly colour and cheatline colour of all 3 are different despite Air China being one of the most reproduced schemes in 400 scale history! There's some questionable placement of the cheatline at the nosecone on all 3 too.

So can you identify them? I'm not expecting this to be especially hard I admit.

Top is Kylin (cockpit window print is off), middle is NG or Panda (windshield window scale is too small), bottom is AeroClassics or Panda Models (again too small windshield window, but AeroClassics & Panda both print the outline).

Funny that all of them are off with the vertical positioning and/or scale of the windshield windows. The last one even has an oversized side/sliding window.
