Hi Guys, my kids recently flew overseas, and they asked me if I can build them an Airbus A330-300 - (Turkish Airlines livery). Where can I source this? My usual haunts dont have.

Can check with my airliners modeler buds if they have any extra. Unfortunately I have only one on my stash planned for a specific future build
You would be looking at the Revell A330-300 Kit in 144 with Thai airliner markings. For Turkish markings you have to go aftermarket
https://www.airline-hobby-estore.com/product-p/ts44-657.htm

If you can't get the kit then there is another option. Try and get the Revell A340 kit and convert it
- drop the 4 CFM engines in favour of 2 GE CF6-80 (Hamilton or TwoSix resin, or Revell plastic ones)/PW4000 (HaHen resin, or Revell plastic ones)/RR Trent 700 (Bra.Z resin) engines
- No center landing gear, Glue in the center gear doors and remove the seam.

Fuselage is the basically same length(0.02m difference actual size aircraft) and wings is same.

Good to hear. Did not get any feedback from my airliner buds

Did you get Turkish Decals?
