In the video in the Rumourmonger Nuremburg 2023 thread, about 29m30s in, the A330 can be seen. The engines appear to be PWs unfortunately. If it's due out in March, I would have expected Trents to have been tooled by now if that's what was going to be included. Maybe they'll surprise us.

Yes, they do ship to the UK. I have some other colour, including the unique Saratov yellow. I've not used any yet but they look good in the bottle.

Edit: Never mind, I misunderstood the question. In Ray's picture, I see a white pylon and a grey engine.

And I'm keen to know what you choose, I've got a number (okay, lots...😁) of the pre-bright-white ones to paint!

It's definitely not a case of the older white yellowing, it was an off-white. BA moved to a brilliant white in 2013. They introduced the crest alongside the fuselage British Airways titles at the same time. The crest was also applied to a few of the fleet which at the time still bore the older, creamier, paint. It was referenced in this thread on Airliners.net.

I'll follow along as I have fond memories of flying on BA's B767s to and from Montreal. The front ends of the RR engine pylons look better with reshaping a little to a flatter profile. Which paint are you planning to use to replicate the creamier (dirty) white they had on these at the time?

^ Thanks for that info, it would certainly explain their limitations. Buyer beware!

Curious. I called onestopaerosols. They stopped doing Pantone 266 as they couldn't get the colour right. Seems they had the same problem as the other company, it was coming out too red. I also called carpaintwarehouse. They don't list anything but do do them, no guarantee of a match though! I think I might play around with some FedEx purples.

Thanks for your suggestions. I'll call onestopaerosols on Monday, their displayed numbers skip 266 but I expect they could do it. I'll try their RAL9016 too which has been recommended for the A350's wings.

Can anyone recommend a colour match for the purple livery? Or a company that produces accurate spray paint matches? I ordered some Pantone 266 from spraytechnologiesaerosols.co.uk and it's rubbish. The first one they sent me was a light shade of lilac and the replacement is very much redder than it should be. I specified a full gloss finish (they call it a 90% gloss level) and it has barely a sheen to it. I ordered some BSC 381C paints from them too and they are equally wrong in colour and gloss level. Thanks, Roy

I have this (broken) with one of the five I got from Russia. The broken-off piece is in the plastic bag. I think it might be due to being caught on a part of the adjacent sprue in the bag.

Have a look at these too. https://www.banzaisf.ig.pl/dosamolotow?func=productPage&wid=2290&pid=2887&cid=129&prid= I've got (but not yet used) their Etihad and Saratov paints which look good.

Fwiw I went to pick up some Fiat Capri Blue today and noticed that the Appliance White was back (if it ever was discontinued last year).

^ Does it have the hybrid GE/PW engines as well? Someone on another forum is asking. Mine's delayed to tomorrow now.
