The A380 hasn't even taken to the skies yet and Revell Germany has a kit out. The Qatar Airways Decals were designed by Mr B17 Jeff Dick, and Huge thanks go out to Jeff! I am not content to use kit markings most of the time and Jeff has been a great Ally in many of my Airliner Projects. 

The kit is a monster! I made a few little modifications to the kit to help strengthen it up. Holes were drilled through the rear fuselage between the horizontal stabs to slide a brass rod through and into the stabs to add greater strength as the tabs are very small. I also used sheet styrene to brace between the slots inside the fuselage for the wings when it came time to fit them. I had trouble with the landing gear but I can't blame the kit for sure, if I build one again I will take more time with the correct dihedral of the wing to make sure the wing mounted gear legs aren't too long.

The kit decals are very nice, I used the kit supplied data and the window decals. When building the kit I was concerned about how to deal with the landing lights in the wings as they were a poor fit, as it turned out there were decals supplied so all I did was paint some circles with Tamiya Smoke and put the decals overtop of them.
