Expecting Gemini Jets to put this up as a future release very soon; wouldn’t surprise me. I’ll cop this model once I spot it.

Stunning Stunning
Another one on an A350 with some yellow on it?

I imagine that this Lufthansa B787-9 model, if produced by a good manufacturer, will be really elegant and beautiful.

Not been a big fan of their specials - but this one is kinda nice

 

[planes_on_a_shelf]

I was just thinking though, about how similar the colour pallette on DL's & LH's 100 year schemes are - and how both got rid of the accent colours.
They could pass of as each other's LOL

But yeah we'll have to hand it to LH for making a spectacular 100 Years special scheme - the best thus far? And I'm not looking at retro schemes here.
Beating Qantas, KLM, Finnair, CSA, Delta, Aeroflot - did Avianca even have one?!

Cheers LH.
But I miss the yellow

Same consideration: if Lufthansa painted an A350-900 instead of the B787-9 the airplane would have been the same of Delta.

The photos don't capture it properly I guess - but the white LH crane swooshes across the airframe through the inky blue.
It's quite stunning actually

What a mess... but nothing surprising when it comes to Italy, I guess By the way, I quite like how retro that livery looks. Cheatlines!!!

The previous Air Italy had quite a nice livery - will be interesting to see how the rebranding of Aeroitalia into a third Air Italy translates to a distinct visual identity
