Looks very pretty, pity about the huge bird crap on the nose!:D
Livery goes from Sergey Pirozhkov’s AstraRossa industry design company, IMHO it’s too sparky and copmplicated, especially I didn’t like nose area (no one likes, I must admit). Contract for new livery was inspired by Mr.Pirozhkov’s personal friend, Russia’s Minister of economics and trade German Gref (ex- already), who said that initial SuperJet livery is ‘not so good as Dreamliner’s one’. Pirozhkov worked for Citroen from 1994 (Xsantia X2 interior, C5, C3 Lumiere concept, C3 Air, C6 Lignage, C4 Volcane, Xsara restyling and then, from 2000, for Toyota european design center (Yaris, Auris, Corolla, Avensis, MTRC and UUV concepts); he also created this stuff as well http://www.carbodydesign.com/archive/2006/04/27-russo-baltique-impression/. Contract for new livery cost in words of SCA was 100-150 kilobucks. Pirozhkov now wants to make interior for Sukhoy SSBJ and new Roskosmos Soyuz…
