Woohoo! I was hoping you'd tackle that one. Cheers!

Old spirit colours?

Great work on all of these newest repaints Tom. Certainly nice to see the Easyjet A321 being done too.

I hope someone from PA will take on the Spirit A321 repaint too.

if nobody does Sprit I will. Also I've got SAS planned, and that I am sure not to disappoint on.

Somebody better do LH retro or I'm going to be ticked.

See previous page for Spirit. You'll just have to solve the puzzle to see the preview...

Well, we don't want that.

but is Aeroflot or Air France on your "list" ??

Posted: **31 Mar 2011, 18:10**

Cheers, Try the method on the previous page to see which one comes up with the ICAO code...

Posted: **01 Apr 2011, 12:44**

Oh ! :O glad to see Aeroflot !! thanks Tom

BTW: I flew twice on VQ-BEI ^^

EDIT: Are there some more than Aeroflot to search the ICAO codes for ?

Just for the sake of asking, do you have a shot from behind the wing (from cabin), full flaps and spoilers?

Ohhhhh! Oh my. Sometimes, there are no words. Great work tom!

Posted: **03 Apr 2011, 10:35**

Ok, WOW Tom, the LH paint is awesome !!
But ! there is one issue: all Lufthansa planes have white wings, so the upper side should be white, just search for some wingviews on A.net

Once again, AWESOME :shock:

and please please do a "normal" LH paint ^^

Posted: **03 Apr 2011, 13:25**

John is doing the normal LH livery

As for the retro paint, from photos I saw on airliners.net, it appears that d-airx is the exception when it comes to the wings. I think they are painted to match the the gray belly paint.

Posted: **03 Apr 2011, 13:52**

Don't worry - the wings are white. Screenshots do not necessarily represent the final paint

Nope, double-checked and they're white as per the rest of the fleet (see here), and if we're getting nit picky about colours, the retro belly is a dull silver (think typical BMW M5).

Posted: **03 Apr 2011, 18:01**

For whatever it's worth, the same thing applies to the SAS A321s. But good to know D-AIRX is not forgotten.

Posted: **04 Apr 2011, 18:57**

Sorry for the question, but when is the Release of the A321 ?

Posted: **04 Apr 2011, 19:03**

Sorry to ask, but is anybody planning to paint the Air France A321 (new livery) ?

Thanks for any replies!

...when it is ready of course

Posted: **05 Apr 2011, 02:11**

why is everyone so senstive about the release date, why can't it just be announced?

Posted: **05 Apr 2011, 02:13**

nvm the last post OOPS my bad.

Posted: **05 Apr 2011, 02:22**

1- We don't usually give release dates cos we can't keep them. We've not even set one internally

2- You can edit your posts

3- BIGBROWNFLYER... really?

I stand corrected! Although, Tom, I looked pretty hard at that photo you linked. Perhaps it's the shadow of the clouds, but white isn't the first color that comes to mind with D-AIRX...But I'm not the arguing type, and I'm excited either way. Cheers!

Posted: **05 Apr 2011, 07:22**

I should probably clarify - it's not so much that they're painted white, they just don't have the grey strip that's darker than the rest of the wing surface. Effectively Lufthansa wings are a lighter grey but for ease of memory referred to as white.

Posted: **05 Apr 2011, 15:32**

Tom, I'm not sure I got you... Regarding the Lufthansa wings, the mainline aircraft all have the wings painted white, same white as the fuselage, on the top. The bottom is painted the same gray as the belly. It's hard to find photos showing it clearly but you can make i out in photos like this one: http://www.airliners.net/photo/1885392/L/

The horizontal stabs are painted white on both sides.

D-AIRX' wings are the same colour as the belly: gray/silver, both on the top and bottom. This also goes for the horizontal stabs.

Bottom: http://www.airliners.net/photo/1784238/L

Posted: **07 Apr 2011, 07:58**

Daniel,

I'm pretty sure the upper wing surfaces are standard Lufthansa:

http://www.airliners.net/photo/Lufthans ... 0865889/L/

I think perhaps the canards are a "soft" silver as opposed to grey, much like the fences, but in reality not far off from the standard Lufthansa grey.

Posted: **07 Apr 2011, 08:15**

Tom IS absolutely right. I've studied this aircraft a lot and its clear that Tom's side of the debate is correct.

Posted: **07 Apr 2011, 08:50**

i support the one which is easiest and looks best regardless of the shade of the real thing...

Posted: **07 Apr 2011, 10:48**

The wings are painted silver. They look white in that photo 'cos it's cloudy.

Obvious they're the same colour as the belly here: http://www.planepictures.net/netshow.php?id=973264

Posted: **07 Apr 2011, 10:51**

This is turning into quite a debate...

DT, you got any good source pics?

Posted: **07 Apr 2011, 10:56**

Sorry, edited my post above

Posted: **07 Apr 2011, 11:20**

Good spot. The shine on the flaps on the right wing is a giveaway that it's silver. I'll adjust accordingly...

Where is the Iberia A321 repaint!!!!!!!! Iberia have 20 A321s! so lets see the repaint!

This is Tom's thread for his repaints, the Iberia Is being done by someones else and that someone can choose if they want to show the previews or not. Personnally Id rather wait so there were more surprizes on the release day (which by the sounds of things should be very soon)

Posted: **08 Apr 2011, 05:18**

Just a question, I cant remember for sure or not, but is someone doing the US Airways new colors?? I know the old colors are being done, just cant remember if the new ones are being done.

Posted: **12 Apr 2011, 15:42**

Yes that is evident. A simple "please" can go a long way.
