You notice how low the front gear sits? I got the same issue with my Cathay A340-600. It look strange on the A346, but not on the A330.

I really haven't noticed. I thought it was supposed to look like that.

Re: Flight's fleet
On the A346 it look like the throttle was fully open and both the pilot and the second officer was standing on the brakes...

Re: Flight's fleet
Today, i relived a truely great moment for me. My first visit to Arlanda International. As soon as i looked at the return address of my latest arrival i knew what model it was: the Aeroflot 737-400. The first Aeroflot plane, the first plane whatsoever i saw on Arlanda.
I can just remember standing there in Sky City with my father looking out at the apron, seeing this beauty preparing for her departure back to Moscow. Now, many years later, i have the model in my hands, but i can sadly not share this moment with the person who brought me to ARN for my first visit. He passed away in 2005, but through this model i have yet one more way to remember him.
R.I.P. Anders Helander, my dad. 
Together with her bigger cousin:

Re: Flight's fleet
Today i picked up two more of my 6 model order from my retailer. Two beauties.
The last model in the 6 model order, i think was the Aer Lingus retro A320.

Oskar, great thought from your heart and your soul. It is beautiful what you have written: the pain is very intimate and private, and when you try to share it is always a beautiful thing.
May your father rest in peace.

I just thought i would share the history behind the model and most of my collection. That one day was pretty much the starting point. A slow start, but still a start.
Thanks Alessandro.

Thanks, Leo. I too think it's a nice way of remembering him as that is also my first memory of plane spotting.
