The P-8 Poseidon is a little-talked-about 737 derivative. The following article from the Seattle Times highlights the differences between this aircraft and a regular 737, and describes the way Boeing builds it. Boeing is said to have achieved important reduction in costs and sales prices.

I wonder whether Airbus might try to emulate Boeing's method by building the A330MRTT to specs from scratch, without having to modify it to military specs.

I think there is not that much difference between a A330MRTT and an A330-200. At least I have not heard about any bodywork that has to be done to them. I think they are pretty much produced as they are needed, like for example the wings. Quite similar as in the case of the P8. Afterwards there are only added systems for tanker or other military use and general outfitting.
