I don't see how this would work without looking botched up. I mean, you'd need to precisely mask off the corogard to work out the low speed aileron's edges.
If the rest of the model would be great, I'd probably try that fix.

I see what you are saying. Where are the low-speed ailerons on the -600 then?

Nevermind, it's a great time to be alive.
The more you know...
The E-175 only had outboard ailerons, and spoilers were also used for roll. The 763 is an antique, even when compared with the A300-600, so it's got both...

Here’s a comparison between YU’s LH A300 and YY’s LH 747-8 in the same cheatline livery.
Although the one on the 747-8 is a retro livery, the colour on this 748 in real life should reflect what was actually painted on Lufthansa aircraft back in the day.

In real life yes, unless LH messed up. D-ABYT resembles a mid 70's 747 and that D-AIAA's timeframe as well.
But I wouldn't trust the colors on the YY or take them as reference. They appear to be "80's" as per the usual error made on LH models of the late 60's to late 70's.

Everything looks good EXCEPT for the nose!! Just doesn’t look right! Sorry just being honest!
There's something odd with the nose shape. The CF6-50 shape here is also quite weird. But the most annoying issue is the super nose-down stance.
I don't really have an issue with the nose. The short nosegear is however annoying
Is the nose gear short - or the main gears too tall?
Nosegear too short
I have two (AF and LH) : I find the nose well made (better than Aeroclassics), on the other hand indeed the nosegear is too short. It’s all the more embarrassing since the correction would surely not have been too difficult before the market launch...
YU really needs to make a modification for future models.
Maybe the second set will still be able to benefit from it (Pan Am, Prototype and Niugini)?
I don’t know if the photos of this second set show the models just before their release or if the set has already been released in places?

I’m don’t have a big pick for imperfections, but that nose down stance is definitely not good.
It’s true, and that’s a shame, because the rest is quite good.
How to spoil a model with a big mistake, and so close to the goal!
I don’t understand, they had the time however to inspect the model before its commercialization... more than a year between the announcement and the release, they spent time working on it!
The A300 being one of my favorite aircrafts, I expected a lot from this model... so I am a bit disappointed.
I hope they will correct this error, and quickly, so as not to impact all their upcoming releases.
Will the next set also have this problem? (Air Niugini, Pan Am, Prototype 600).
Now I’m looking forward to the improved A300 mold from Phoenix, to see how it compares with YU.
Without a doubt, already no front landing gear height problem at Phoenix!

According to them, they said the mold has been sent for modification, and subsequent products will have the improved landing gear.

Yu said that the nose gear height will be fixed in the next production. Apparently they are making some retail exclusive models which are unannounced
