At this moment no, all the models out there aren't of a good quality at all.

ahhhhhhhhhhh what a beauty! once that primer is gone and they add a c/s it will gain some character!! lol and leworthy your right .. the reg sums it up!!! WWOW!!
sure.. it'll add some character.. but it will also add a shizzzle load of weight! Imagine Wanula dreaming on a scarebus 380?? be 1/2 the avail weight alone! :-D hehe.

I personally do not like the A380 I don't think it really focuses on the customer(pax) but rather the airline, I sure as heck wouldn't wanna take the only flight out just to wait a VERY long time at that airports lounge for the connecting flight.. That's for another subject..

The wings already bend downward at it's near EW(empty weight) I dunno how those wings can support upward of a million lbs!

i think its beatiful, and so is the 7E7, but i think the rear end of the 7E7 behind the tail hould NOT stick out, it looks horrible.

Looking good...The windows look like the A340, A330, and the rest of airbus windows in the cockpit. I find that strange and also because there ugly. The 7E7 starts production in a year.  :D

You know what people there is no comparison with Boeing and Airbus. There is no such thing as better and worse. Okay for all of you that are saying it won't fly, cut the non-sense. Airbus has spent billions of dollars on this machine. And you know what, their engineers know ###### loads of info more than we do.

true... but it doesn't mean it is fail safe.. All it takes is one mess up and BAM the A380 will not sell.. what that mess up is, we'll have to wait and see..

And anyways, everyone makes mistakes, who knows if the engineers haven't.. I mean look! the frigkin wings already bend down at below Empty weight.. jeesh.. kind of uncomforting for me.. a 744 going on a long haul.. STARTS too.. Sure flexibility in the wing is great, but for it to naturally bend downwards...
