Also, I’m happy and proud to announce that all those profiles can be ordered as Limited Prints (50 prints per reference, no more), numbered, printed on Fine Art paper.

I’ve prepared “special” prints for the occasion, such as this “A350: The First Three Customers” poster!

Hi everyone,
I know some of you will be interested to know that new A350 profiles are available. Here are the latest ones:

TAM A350 profile illustration, the first to be operated in South America, and wearing a specific sticker on the nose!

Singapore Airlines A350:

And the new Cathay Pacific livery on A350:

On the A320 side, the first A320neo that entered commercial service with Lufthansa:

Thanks! The first B787 for Vietnam was just rolled out so I guess I will have to work on B787 profiles soon also 😉

Here’s the new addition to my gallery : 250th Airbus liner for EasyJet, with its special livery…

Back on A320, with the first A320neo fitted with CFM LEAP-1A engines.
The engine nacelles are a little bit smaller than the PW ones, and I must admit it looks pretty good. What do you think?
First flight is expected soon now.

For comparison, here’s again the PW-powered F-WNEO:

here is the latest illustration : MSN024, to become the first A350 for TAM and to be delivered late December 2015.
I don’t have the final reg so if anyone have the info and is kind enough to share it here, it’ll be appreciated 😉

Hello,
It’s time to update the Vietnam Airlines A350 illustration with the revised livery! Here she is!

(As always, larger and better quality version can be seen here) 😉

Hi,
latest work : A350 Finnair, alias MSN018, to be OH-LWA. Real aircraft is in Toulouse, on wheels, engines not fitted yet, fin painted.
This is a rendition of the final livery.

(can be seen in 1200px and better quality here)

Of course these illustrations are drawn at very high resolution. I got few printed on photo paper to performed some checks…

I really hope you like it.:very_drunk:

More A320 illustrations, and in larger size are available on my website (see signature).

Here are the few A350 profiles I finished so far (would like an extra day or two per week to have time to do more!!)

First of course the recently delivered MSN006, first A/C to enter service with Qatar:

The MSN001, in standard current Airbus livery:

The MSN002, alias “Carbon Fiber”:

And finally the next to come, Vietnam Airlines, done before they revealed their new livery. So this one will be revised soon!

Next on the list: Finnair…

I guessed it, don’t worry, but there are people who actually are very serious while asking this kind of questions:rolleyes:;)

Here are some more A330 :

back in april 2007, brand new A330 in Toulouse

And with single light, in Toulouse, june 06

And later, in november 2007…

That’s indeed something I notice a few days ago. They now have dual light fitted on 330s, just like on the A380 (picture).
I first thought it was because of the huge fuselage diameter/obstruction on the A380… Maybe there’s a good reason…:p

To the untrained eye an A319 could possibly look a little like a 737-200. Shouldn’t the Airbus look totally different? Can’t they come up with their own ideas of how to use aerodynamic principles to design aircraft?

Well, actually, and trust me it’s sometimes hard to avoid, every airliner looks like every other airliner.
Since you have a cylinder, wings, engines and tail fins, the aero/physics/economics rules give you the same design everytime.
For example, look at bizjets. Appart from say the Piaggio Avanti, to an untrained eye they all look the same. You can of course recognize a Falcon or a Cessna, but overall design is very similar. And every manufacturer would like to propose something instantly distinctable from the rest of the crowd.

Do you remember the very early CG views of the B7E7? The shark fin? What’s now on the real hardware? Economics and structural analysis made it hard to manufacture at a reasonnable price. That’s life in design offices…

Talking about design, and back on the main topic, I find these winglets looking very much like the A350XWB ones… Maybe they are not intended to be mounted on A320 but are just to study possible XWB design solutions…:rolleyes:

To be honest, living in Toulouse, I don’t see any interest making Boeing’s aircraft…:D
Seriously, I like the Triple Seven, which is to me the best looking Boeing. But I don’t have it as a 3d model, and don’t plan to model it right now. But who knows…
:rolleyes:
As fas as engines are concern, I’m quite confident in my modelling. They are Trent500 on these A340-500/-600, the fan diameter in only 7in less than the GE90 (116 vs 123in) so yes, it can look big. But don’t forget that point of view and focal length may be unusual so can’t compare to what is perceived as “normal”.;)

EDIT : actually, 116″ is the size of the Trent900 engine I work on, not the size of the Trent500. Trent500 fan is 97″ wide, to be compared to the 123″ of the GE90… Sorry for the mistake.

Future sight in Toulouse, the first A330-300 for Singapore Airlines, MSN978…
You can see it right here right now 😉
