I have had several A340-600s/300s in the various liveries that have adorned their fleet say from 1993 onwards.This livery was a launch livery for their new A340 600 at Farnborough Air Show in the year 2000! Also their was the Airbus Demonstrator as well in the Airbus house livery!
This particular livery of Virgin Atlantic is one thats very hard to pull off! Many brands have had trouble with their current white reflective job and with this livery known as the silver....Phoenix has opted for like a dull/putty almost grey! The grey on the model and in real life actually reminded me of the BA Landor grey paint.
Besides that Phoenix have pulled this livery off very well in my view,alas the no (4engines ,4 longhaul) though i am sure that was only on the first
delivered A340-600,maybe wrong on that but its not on this model the wording anyways. Not othered either frankly if it was suppose too!
Of recent times Phoenix have done their current livery and that wrong but lovely shade of ruby red paint! Av400/NG were more accurate but i did prefer the incorrect shade! On this model its just red and thats correct.
Overall i think this is my favourite now of all the Phoenix A340-600 liveries as much more going on well executed.
