The A340 has been developed together with the A330, with the main difference being the number of engines. In fact, its development was sketch at the same time of the A300, and they share a common ground. Its 4 engines allow it to have power to haul heavy weights over very long distances and it was manufactured with 4 lengths.
About the model kit, like the real one, it shares a lot of common parts with its brother A330. Main difference is the 4 engines similar to the A320 series.
Its construction can be called peacefull, no big unfitting problems were found, except for the cockpit window, as it is tricky to fit in the right place.
Landing gear wells are very well made, and landing gear itself was marvelous!
The decals that I've purchased were a little bit thick, they do not let the details to be visible...
But in the end it does become a nice bird, and if you are into scratch building, you can use it as a solid start of point to do the larger -500 or -600 versions.
Although it is becoming harder to find it at an afordable price, there is a trick: you may get an A330, which Revell decided to re-print, get 2 models of the "right version" of the A320, the ones that brings 2 pair of different engines, and you'll only need to make the center landing gear. Everything else is in there to make 3 airplanes. Nevertheless, it is a very nice model, good to stand near its "brothers".
