Looks very nice, although I still have a question. IS MSN004 effectively going to Singapore Airlines ? Cause the titles are much larger than on other SQ Aircraft. Or is this just another promotional paint of an airframe that will stay with Airbus for testing ?

Now that I start to think, wasn't MSN004 meant for Etihad ?

Greetz,

Its not going to be in SIA colors for long! This one is to Etihad! But no delivery until year 2008, I think!

I am getting tired of the old SIA colors, its now 30 years old!

It's a A380 for the Asian Aerospace. Here is a picture of the SQ A380:

I find it just fantastic!

Just wonderful! I might hate SIA, but the A380 is wonderful!

the tail doesn't seem well paint !!!

Asian Aerospace is an Asian airshow. It's normal that not all the tail is painted. It was just like the Emirates one. Just for the show

Normally, inside the A380, it's full with equipment.

Yeah, the airline title is big, but that's the way it's going to be if I'm correct since I saw an artist drawing on a SQ A380 is just like that. The SQ color was modified in the late 1980's/early 1990's, but in general, it is basically the same color scheme.

Asian Aerospace is the Asian Air Show. It's the last year being held in Singapore. It's moving to Hong Kong starting Sep 2007.

Thye need to drop big titles and big logos on engines to have a elegant look of a top class airline, I never knew they had a longing for tacky recognition, slightly smaller tail logo would also balance the look.

Actually, I've never liked how the A380 looked, and I think it looks worse in these c/s.

Sweet! I think it looks great. The profile is not as majestic looking as the Queen of the Skies, but the sheer size bespeaks the marvel of engineering.

And of course I like the SIA color scheme. They got it right the first time, so no need to update it.

The A380 will suit Swiss colors so well ! like the one i have in Flight Simulator (in the screenshots thread)

Airbus wants that title, but I guess they can have king, and Boeing keeps the more gracefull title and apearance. !

It is rather confusing having two topics concerning the same item.

The same applies for the broken wing(s) of the A380 item

BTW:

• my information also states MSN004 is meant for Etihad.

• won't Etihad get quite a reduction on the price for this aircraft

• you can't call this aircraft new after all the severe testing the plane has gone through

I just saw the double topic for the A380 indeed.

Sorry I didn't knew that Killerwhale opened one before.

Anyway, since his topic has no replies yet and since the discussion is going on here I suggest we just lock your topic Killerwhale and we continue over here. I hope you don't mind.
