This model started out as an Air
Canada A340 and was converted to an A330-200 by shortening the fuselage by
approx. 30mm, omitting the centre main landing gear and using Braz Models Rolls
Royce Trent engines to convert it to and A330. It was also shortened by
30 mm to make it from a 300 series to a 200 series.

There were a number of
different airlines to choose from as far as paint schemes go but what did it in
the end was that Jeff likes printing Gold things with his Alps Printer and the
Gold Gulf Air Logo was too much for him to pass up! The decals Jeff made are very
similar to the Liveries Unlimited Sheet. Jeff made new logos with the correct
colours and added the 50th Anniversary Logo.
Gulf Air has 5 A330's with
registration codes A40-KA to A40-KE, KA to KD carried the 50th Anniversary Logo
on it so I chose KD......what else? It's an attractive colour scheme, not
overdone but with enough colour to make it quite interesting.
Thanks goes out to
Jeff Dick for printing the decals and to Ken Steacy & Steve Bamford for
taking the photos.
