I've just purchased the Revell 1/144 A 320 and looking through the instructions I noticed that they have the upper wing surfaces listed as 'matt mouse grey'. Matt?
I would have thought that they would be gloss as per the rest of the aircraft. This is my first airliner and it's all new to me so it would be great if someone could shed some light on it.

Cheers,

Harri.

Click on airbus.com and enjoy yourself! It looks to me like the center panels of the upper wings are flat gray. Hope the site helps.

Or take a visit to the airport, or even better buy a plane ticket to the world cup as an excuse to fly in one! :-)

cheers

Thanks chaps,

Some cracking pics at airbus.com. Oh and Philip, if I was flying anywhere it wouldn't be the world cup! Aussie Grand Prix certainly, world cup, no.
