Airbus A330-200 A330 Novair - Nova Airlines and similar items

1:200 Scale Plastic Snap-Fit ? Airbus A330, A330-200 ? Length:11.25" Wingspan: 12" These models from Flight Miniatures are made of plastic and don't need any glue or paints. The assembly is very basic and takes only a few minutes. Assembly consists of nothing more than attaching the wings to the fuselage and then attaching the tail and elevators. Special care has to be taken while attaching the wings since the fitting in these models is quite tight and some pressure needs to be applied. The pressure needs to be applied on the wings and onto the fuselage. Do not, for example, hold the wings from the engines and apply force like that since this will damage and/or break the engine. The level of detail is very nice and accurate. Wings will show the different panels and sections just as the real thing. The coloring and markings are not decals, so they won't peel off. For the people who are really observant, engines are accurately proportioned and the type of engine is also accurately represented. These type of models are the type which one can see in airline offices and/or at travel agents (when they were still around). This is not a toy. Recommended for 15 and up. The A330-200 is a shortened, longer-range variant, which entered service in 1998 with Korean Air. The typical range with 253 passengers in a three-class configuration is 13,400 km (7,240 nmi; 8,330 mi). The A330-200 is ten fuselage frames shorter than the original ?300, with a length of 58.82 m (193 ft 0 in). To compensate for the smaller moment arm of the shorter fuselage, the vertical stabiliser height of the -200 was increased by 104 cm (40.9 in). The ?200's wing was also modified; structural strengthening of the wing allowed the maximum takeoff weight of the ?200 to be increased to 229.8 tonnes (507,000 lb). The ?200 is offered with three engine types similar to those found on the ?300, namely the General Electric CF6-80E, Pratt Whitney PW4000, or Rolls-Royce Trent 700. Airbus also boosted fuel capacity to 139,090 L (36,740 US gal; 30,600 imp gal) by adding the centre section fuel tank, standard in the A340.
