Yu ModeL New Airbus A300 First Look

Hopefully the mould usage can be maximised by some nice retailer exclusives

The 'chin' could be a wee bit less bulge-y, as could be the forehead....?

That nose looks so extremely weird. At first I thought forehead, but the "chin" definitely is the bigger problem judging by these pics. A shame as I had high hopes in this mould.

Looks weird indeed. Not a dealbreaker for me, though. Looks better than the Phoenix A300 mould, for example

Wow this looks awesome!!

I know the A300 is nose-down-butt-up but I think it looks a bit too much?

I know the A300 is nose-down-butt-up but I think it looks a bit too much?

Based on photos, of both the model and the real aircraft while at rest, I'm frankly unable to conclude convincingly - as load factors, etc will be a crucial factor.

Question could be - will a completely empty A300 have this posture? No cargo, fuel, or PAX

I'd rely on what @Phantom would have to state on this

Based on Airbus data, I calculate the following nose down attitudes for an A300B2:
OEW: 0.63°
MRW (max forward CoG): 0.87°
MRW (max aft CoG): 0.47°


Btw, I so 110% can't stand when LH logos are printed off center.
