Here’s another ‘oldie’…: This is Hasegawa’s 1/200 Airbus A300 sporting a magnificent Air Niugini livery. I’m sorry, but the quality of the pic does not give the full effect… This was in effect the airline’s flagship, and all other airplanes had a much blander look to them… The kit is straight from the box, but the livery is from spray cans (all automotive paints) and self-made decals (thank you Lettraset!). Hope you like it!

Very Nice ! Some times here in the aircraft forum I forget that civilian aircraft count as aircraft too! [:)]
Wow, you did all that nutty livery yourself? Excellent!
Another airline I’ve never heard of. “Niugini?” Is that New Guinea??
Yes Air Niugini, of Papua New Guinea… Here’s a link to their site with a bit of history… Unfortunately, this particular aircraft is no more part of the fleet…

Cool! I almost balked trying to pronounce the airline until I discovered (I think) it read “New Guinea” (right?). Nice work, Dj!
Nice “Flying Billboard,” dj !
You’re right Allan… Why make it simple when it can be made complicated! Thanks for your kind words, Guys.
nice build.
thats an interesting scheme there, are there other airliners out there that sport similar paint???
Chris, nowadays there are lots of special schemes applied to airliners, from the most basic advertising (EasyJet) to very intricate and elaborate ones (South African, British Airways, Qantas to name but three.
There seem to be two distinct ‘schools’, the first one being advertising and this has allowd us to see a Concorde in Pepsi colors, a Swissair plane in a all-red McDonalds scheme (yes, the fast-food company!), Japan Air Lines planes with Disney characters painted all over the fuselage, or even ‘Simpsons’ planes for example. The other ‘school’ tend to favour promoting a particular trait of a country or a particular event and this has seen Air France aircraft decorated with soccer players during the 1998 World Cup, Austrian aircraft with faces of famous Austrians (incl. Arnie, of course!), Qantas aircraft decorated with Aboriginal artwork…
Awesome Pic DJ, it’s great to see some civilian A/C on the forums every once in a while!!!
