I’m building the Frontier A319 in the markings of Carmen the Conure. This is my first Frontier build. There are a lot of great online reference photos including the Conure plane, but I could only find one decent photo of the top of the wing (it’s from the Coyote plane).
The top looks involved. It looks like there are dark gray wing walks on top of the stabilizer, a strip of corogard over the top of the engine pylons, top light gray completely over and under the stabilizer and under the wing, but more complex on the wing top where it looks like a small strip of white bordering around the corogard and the rest of the wing light gray. It also looks like the wing corogard walk is black. I’m finding this picture on airlinemuseum.com.
Is what I described correct? Thanks for your help.
Well, with incredible luck, Frontier is extending their service to our local airport and having a promotional open house on their A319 this Saturday for four hours (it looks like it might be the Fox plane)! So I’ll be out there and getting lots of pictures. If anyone needs reference shots just let me know.
Banshee,
I have plans to build a couple of Frontier aircraft so I’d love to see any reference images you shoot.
Cheers, Aaron
Here are some photos of a Frontier 319 that I did for an airliner GB. As I recall it was pretty accurate, based on whatever photos that I could find.
That is a very nice build. Thank you for sharing, Ken.
I’ve also seen that black strip around the wing root in reference photos. How did you duplicate it? Is that a decal?
Thank you.
Alan
Goto http://www.airliners.net and search for the specific bird you’re looking for. You can search via its tail number or keywords.
The black stripe was a decal. At the time I had three different decal sets for the 319.

They let me on the runway and all around the plane, Aaron. I got great shots that I’ll send you.
They let me in the cockpit and I got a lot of good pictues in there as well. I’ll forward those in case you’re planning some super detailing (!).
