I understood that like Herpa, they must have a certain number of flaws each year and for a specific number of models, just as JCWings must be below average in decency, so Lufthansa must have a specific number of special liveries in its fleet. These are mandatory things in the world of collecting and civil aviation.

Love this livery. Looked really nice on widebodies. Even the 767 had this livery for a very short period before being retired

I agree! It’s a stunning livery! But even the former livery was nice too!
