As you may know, I quite like the 'Utopia' or 'World Image' liveries introduced by British Airways from 1997. However, these liveries were not universally popular and were quietly dropped in 2001, with all aircraft receiving the current 'Chatham' tail fin design from that year onwards.
The A380 entered service over a decade later in 2013. I couldn't help wondering what this aircraft would have looked like with that massive tail covered in one of the ‘Utopia' designs. This build was the result of my pondering and can be seen here if you want to watch it come together, complete with the production of the custom decals I used on this model.
The design I chose was one of the rarer ones, used on just one aircraft. I hope you like it.🙂
As ever, comments and criticisms are welcomed!
I have five more of these kits in my stash(!), so other Utopia liveried A380s will follow in due course - it would be rude not to...!
