Brussels Airlines A319 OO-SSR (other reg. acceptable) 2006-2021 livery
In a fashion fairly befitting of my name, I have decided to request a 1/400, A319 in the older Brussels Airlines scheme. This is a model we have yet to see in scale, and I feel would certainly be well received by the European community. My hope is that, in typical NG style, they may be inspired to release this alongside the other highly requested, and truly iconic, line of ‘Belgian icon’ liveries.
As a Belgian in 1/400, trying to complete my silly dream of collecting all Brussels Airlines in 1/400 has proved difficult, notably the decade old release from Aeroclassics — OO-SNA, OO-SNB — in the regular livery. These specific models are few and far between these days, and are the last hurdle in my entire collection.
In regards to our special liveries, seeing these aircraft bare symbolic values that my country is famous for, brings an immense sense of patriotism, something which my country could do with a bit of right now. In a country where language and politics often set people apart, these aircraft have become a point of pride for Belgians alike. Spotters and enthusiasts from both Wallonia and Flanders can stand together on the same perimeter fence, talking, photographing, and simply enjoying the moment of seeing their flag carrier represented in such a creative way. Plus, they look fricken cool!
Of course, this is simply my little wish. Please don’t feel in any way obliged to contribute — I just wanted to share the reasoning behind it, and why I think it would mean a lot to see in 1/400. I’ll showcase just a couple other requests I believe are worth a mention.
