yep..it is...apart from the obvious...shape , size and number of engines..you could check out the undercarriage , the wingtips ( airbus as opposed to boeing )...it is a matter of study and memory....
you should get a good civil aviation book of photographs or google it..there are any amount of photographs ( all shapes and sizes ) and you can search for exactly what you are looking for on
www.airliners.net.
try that.
may be a little more difficult when it comes to things like the 319/321..of course no problem with 330/340..
those that drive the particular versions may have the best clues as to the differences....but despite being around them for years i still have difficulty with small differences in some models..
try the website.
good luck..
