Abandoned Project Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 I am currently playing with paint over in the What-if section here and wondered what would I have to do to make it look plausible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abandoned Project Posted May 5, 2019 Author Share Posted May 5, 2019 I am currently thinking of going ahead with either of these two schemes... sort of Qantas/Lufthansa style or something Braniff style 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Like the Braniff style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skodadriver Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Not a fan of "What Ifs" myself but I once saw a Revell C17 finished in DHL colours like this A300 which was eye-catching to say the least. I suppose it was also just about plausible since there is a long history of freight operators buying up surplus military aircraft and the Hercules and Short Belfast occasionally appeared in civil livery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You best stay away from the Airline Empires game which is full of 'what if' airlines with some amazing artwork and background stories. I stumbled upon Airline Empires in a search on Google for British Atlantic and then I did a search for Airline Empires 747 and I was very pleased with what I found. I originally started this topic to see what advice I could get to make my fictional and semi fictional airliners look convincing You probably won't be too keen on my fleet which, so far, will be;- 1. Airbus A380-800 as either Virgin Atlantic or my own Fen Air (dependant on my decal printing experiments) 2. Palair Macedonian Ilyushin il-86 what-if 3. Thai International Airways 747-400 retro 4. Boeing Landor 747-400Y what-if 5. BOAC 747-600 what-if 6. Air NZ 747-8i (all black fuselage) what-if 7. Gulf Air 747-8i/747-Xstretch what-if 8. Airbus A380 Green Phoenix (another of my own crazy ideas). As you can see the nearest most of my fleet is going to get to authentic will be the window decals from Kurt! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palair Macedonian Ilyushin il-86 I bet that an all red Palair Macedonian (like their Fokker !00) would look great. I always hoped that S7 might paint up one of their Il-86's into the two tone green scheme, but they were retired before that could happen.

Skodadriver Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 In the dim and distant past AHS made decals for an imaginary red Palair Macedonian DC-10. It might be possible to adapt them to the IL-86 although it never occurred to me to try. I think I've still got a set somewhere if anybody wants to take them off my hands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey-1980 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I like the liveries you have done there....they look like the fictitious realm of Panem in The Hunger Games Now that could be an interesting livery for an aircraft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abandoned Project Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 thinking of something more KLM style or maybe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I really like the KLM style but I believe a cheat line below the green on the fuselage would add some character. I initially thought silver but I think a rich yellow would look very nice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abandoned Project Posted September 27, 2021 Author Share Posted September 27, 2021 @Beermonster1958 , @SAT69 how about this? starting to look very PIA/Aer Lingus/KLM crossover. The tail logo is just a gold disc over the green tail as opposed to my normal green phoenix on a gold background as I realised I had never done this and seeing as I am just playing with paint to experiment with ideas I thought i would try it out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
