A2A Connie is released!

[mgr]

Argrhhhh, had it with the repaint for this year... will try next year...

End result of this year:

Still not happy with the tone of the blue and also the metal shine. Think the Alpha and specs needs some tweaking.

Now off to the "oliebollen" en "appelflappen".

Have a safe ending of the year all and best wished for the new year!

Well here is a good example of a shiny aeroplane (LOL)

It just struck me looking at the textures on the Connie, how the engines and wings are good but the fuselage can have more of grey tone than chrome. As for me well I am no expert but I do love a well polished aluminium aeroplane. Note sure why they painted the HARS Connie grey on the lower fuselage and engine cowls. Anyway I will hand over to the experts.

Most of it was ease of maintenance course the washing down for performance and to stop the skin from anodizing save on skin replacement, with a shinny skin and a brand new aircraft was also customer appeal for the first few years then on overhaul scored the paint.

Crikey , those QANTAS screens are looking great, may not be a 749 but it is close enough, looking great dvj

Anybody noticed the 'Canard' outside the cockpit window? I have posted the issue at the A2A forum.

 

[ftl818]

I think it is an VHF antenna.

 

[Ian Warren]

You go up to Marcel's recent post, the last screen shows this to great affect.

 

[BendyFlyer]

Hmmm, well I never! Ah well.

Ah Ansett, they may or may not have had they the opportunity. But I do like the paint job. Great polished aluminium look on the cowls and wings.

Bendy, saves me scanning some photos , as small as it is it sticks out like 'dogs balls' not that I study those
