A GE CF6-80E1 engine nacelle with the thrust reverser in the open position for the model of the Airbus A330-301, 302 and 303 in 1:144 scale, according to the name for the Zvezda kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
From the start the Airbus A330 was offered with engines from several makers and the customer chose. That is exactly why the type has so many numerical versions: the designations A330-301, 302 and 303 belong to machines with GE CF6-80E1 turbofan engines, which were created for this aircraft by reworking the proven CF6 series. The number after the dash therefore does not speak about the length of the fuselage or the cabin fittings, but about what hangs under the wing. That interests modelers more than you might think, because the nacelles of the individual engines differ noticeably in shape and length, and the wrong engine shows on a finished model.
The set brings a CF6-80E1 engine nacelle with the thrust reverser shown in the open position, that is the way the engine looks while braking after touchdown on the runway. According to the name, it is intended for the Zvezda kit in 1:144 scale. The extent of the parts and the procedure for fitting them are given in the instructions from the manufacturer.
The parts are not polystyrene, so ordinary cement for plastic will not join them; cyanoacrylate glue holds reliably. Cut the excess material off with a sharp blade a little away from the part and sand the rest back, so that the intake ring of the nacelle stays evenly round. Paint the exposed inner surfaces before you close the nacelle. Wash and degrease the parts before painting, otherwise the finish will not stay on the smooth surface.
For modelers of airliners who are building a particular version of the A330 and want the right engine under the wing. Paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
