Yesterday one of A380 Qantas Airways was forced to emergency landing on Singapore airport after circling around Batam airspace to dump its fuel. Qantas Flight 32 was a scheduled flight from London Heathrow Airport to Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport. This incident is the first ever happen to A380 jumbo aircraft in the world. Qantas operates six A380-800s and I heard from the news they were all grounded because of Flight 32's engine failure. Debris parts from its left inboard engine fell off over surrounding Batam area.

I haven't making designs for airliners category for a while, so I think this release will be a refreshing. I plan to do Airbus A380 since a long time, until now when I have a mood for doing aircraft models. I choose Singapore Airlines because it was the first airliners that operates A380 double decker jumbo plane, there will be other airliners whic operate A380 later. I made this model in 1:300 scale or 24 cm in length, too small? Maybe, it use inner glue tabs and formers plus tiny landing gear parts which highlighted this paper model was made only for advance modellers. Instructions are on page 2 and 3. {plusone}
