I was commissioned by a business
customer of mine on the eve of the first Airbus 380 delivery to SIA to do
a Singapore Airlines livery Concorde operated by BA on the London-Singapore route many years back.
The kit is a Airfix Air France
concorde. The Decals were from Runway which has predictably yellowed out.
The SIA logo placement was rather tricky as
it was over the rudder actuator fairing as is the BA logo on the opposite
side. The decal was sliced into separate pieces and trimmed to get the
correct outline to take into account o the contours of the fairing. The
decals when under scrutiny comes with errors as compared to the actual
thing, but would escape the novice's eyes otherwise.
Almost all decals are after market as the
Airfix ones would almost tend to break under the slightest pressure.
This
particular make certainly gives one a fresh respite from other more
mainstream ones.
