Nils's kind of ok repaints

[Nilsfr91]

Hello everyone !!
So here we go for the Aigle Azur airbuses  , so chronologically we have:

- Two variations for the A321's, including F-GUAA being the very first Airbus for the airline delivered in summer 2003 (note the extra Airbus titles), and F-HBAB delivered only a few months later in early 2004.


  


- Next we have 4 variations for the A320's, 2 CFM powered and 2 IAE powered ones. F-HBAC (cfm engines) was the first A320 delivered to Aigle Azur in December 2004 and sporting a slightly different version of the tail logo than all the other A320's that will follow in ZI's fleet. The other cfm powered A320 here is F-GJVF, an ex Air France/Air Inter aircraft delivered to ZI in early 2006, and is included here to represent a more regular liveried A320 CFM as F-HBAC had a unique variation.
Next we have the 2 IAE powered ones, delivered in late 2005.
Those two, apart from the fact that they were the only two A320 with IAE engines to fly for the airline, had very little differences. F-HBAD had the regular tail logo but with a slight offset that let a bit of white paint appear along the very edge of the vertical stabilizer, and F-HBAE was the same but without that little offset.

              


- And now to finish, we have two variations for the A319's, one IAE powered registered F-GXAG and delivered in early 2006 that had a very unique variation of the tail logo, and one CFM powered registered F-GXAH delivered in mid 2006 but wearing the regular tail logo but with the same offset as the A320 F-HBAD.

        

Here it is for those early 2000's Aigle Azur airbuses, I'll put them on my google drive with all the other repaints, and to be sure I'll be putting a link here:

For the moment, for my next repaints, I'll probably focus on some Air Austral liveries in the 2002/2003 color scheme, so there will be some 737-300 and 737-500, and some fspx 777-200. It will take more time tho as I finally started to work out there in France lol it's going to be quite physical and time consuming, so I'll make my paints on my days off.

Hello everyone, so as said in the last post, I worked on some Air Austral repaints with their early 2000's livery.

There's 3 different aircrafts: their sole 737-500 registered F-ODZJ that was repainted in that livery in 2003 until it left the fleet in 2011; the only one of their two 737-300's that was in that livery registered F-ODZY(repainted in 2003 until it departed the fleet in 2011 too) as the other -300 was a QC variant that only flew in the 1990's livery until it left for Europe Airpost (another french airline) in 2005. The last type is the 777-200, 3 of them entered the airline's fleet between 2003 and 2005, registered F-ORUN, F-OPAR and F-OMAY and are represented in my repaints (no differences in the livery, just differents regs and each properly named).

So first here is the 737-500(painted on the FAIB model):     



Here's the 737-300 (painted on the FAIB model):                



And finally here are the 777's (painted on the FSPXAI PW model), note that each one was named, so F-OMAY was named "Caribou", F-OPAR "Marcel Goulette" and F-ORUN "Pierre Lagourgue" and the names were put in the light blue cheatline on the front fuselage under the :
                                                      


Here it is for those early 2000's Air Austral Boeings, I now might be interested in doing the second 737-300 of air austral, the QC one but in their original livery, and do the same for their (at the time) sole ATR-72 which surprisingly in the 90's colors until 2007. I'm also thinking about some Air Mauritius paint (their A319's, as their's still repaints of their old colors only on the DJC model), and maybe some Karthago Airlines (defunct Tunisian carrier) 737's.

Well, that's it for today folks, good day/night to everyone !

[Nilsfr91]

Here are the last 2 repaints for early 2000's Air Austral, so as said in the last post here is:

- The second 737-300 of the airline, a QC version delivered to Air Austral in July 1997 and left for Europe Airpost (now ASL Airlines France) in June 2005, and never got repainted in the 2002/03 livery.

   

- The final paint is representing the first ATR 72 of this airline in their 1990's livery, registered F-OHSF, who was delivered in july 2000 and only got repainted in the 2002/03 livery in late 2007.

  
   
Those two are available under the same folder as the other Air Austral repaints on my Drive (use the link in the previous post).

Well, I thought that I was going to do some more exotic repaints lol, but for some reason after looking at some pictures on airliners.net I got carried away in a big Air France phase  .

So as usual, I've done some repaints only representing (for the moment) the longhaul fleet of AF during the early 2000's, including some classic 747's, 747-400's, 777's (200 and 300ER), A330's and A340's.
Given the amount of previews I have, I'll make 3 consecutives posts, this one for the 747's, the next for the 777's and the last for the Airbuses.

So here we go with the 747's,

First here are 2 variations for what was left of AF's 747-200's in the 2000's: F-GCBA representing the few full pax -200 left (in 2004, only 2 -200B's left: F-GCBA and F-BPVY) and F-GCBJ for the combis (in 2004: F-GCBB, F-GCBI and F-GCBJ)
  
      

Next we have the -200SUD's + -300's: Given that all of them were ex-UTA's there was only 4 of them from the early 90's ( 2 200M SUD's and 2 300M's) merger up until they all got off the fleet in 2006/07, all of them are represented plus a bonus variation for F-GETA (one of the 2 -300M's) for it's last year of operation (2006) with AF where for some reason the tail logo on both sides didn't go all the way up like every other aircraft in AF's fleet.

      

And now to finish with the Queen, here are the -400's: Air France had a bunch of full pax -400's and some combis (that got for the most part converted onto BCF's from 2007 and up), so there are 2 variations each time, 1 representative full pax and 1 combi, with the old "Groupe Air France" stickers and no engine logo, and with the 2004/05 post KLM merger "Air France - KLM" stickers and the "hippocampe" engine logo.
The AF's 400 fleet was dispatched like this, F-GITA/B/C/D/E/F/H/I/J and F-GEXA (ex-UTA) were full pax and F-GISA/B/C/D/E and F-GEXB (also ex-UTA) were combis.

Next are the 777's. In the early 2000's, Air France already had received all of it's 777-200ER's, but they also started to receive their first bunch of -300ER's (Air France was the launch customer of the variant), as F-GSQA arrived in the fleet in early 2004.

So first here are the -200ER, with a variation with the old AF group stickers and a variation for the AF-KLM stickers that started to appear on those in 2006/07:

          


And next are the -300ER, same as above there's a variation for the old pre KLM merger stickers, and one for the new ones, that started to appear on the airframes that arrived in the fleet between the late 2006 and 2007.

To finish with the Air France's early 2000's widebodies, here are the Airbuses.

First here are the A330-200's, same are the others, there is a old stickers variation and a new stickers one:

       


An the last ones are the A340-300's, there's 2 parts with 2 variations each: a wide 3rd door and a narrow 3rd door with the old stickers and same thing again but with the new stickers.
For more clarity, here are the configs per registrations: wide 3rd door- F-GLZA/B/C/H/I, narrow 3rd door- F-GLZJ/K/L/M/N/O/P/Q/R/S/T/U and F-GNIF/G/H/I.

Since France as been put in a lockdown (again) and that I'm unable to work given that I work in a rowing club you know, outside lol, I have some extra time to do some repaints.
So this weekend I worked on some more exotic paints that until then were only available on older models.

So first, here is a repaint for the FAIB 737-700 representing Air Seychelles sole 737 registered S7-SEZ that flew for them between late 2001 and mid 2005 and carried the lovely name "Amirantes"  (a group of mostly huge atolls, part of the Seychelles 
archipelago):

Next are two different types of aircrafts in the old Air Mauritius livery, first their 2 A319's using the FAIB A319 model, then their first and only A330 that wore the old livery using the FSPXAI A330 model.
Their 2 A319's were named after cities located on the Mauritius Island, 3B-NBF was named "Mon Choisy" and 3B-NBH "Blue Bay", and their A330's are named after flowers growing on the island, so 3B-NBM was named after an endemic flower from this part of the Indian Ocean, "Trochetia":

Hello everyone !
Today I wanted to show you my latest project, Royal Air Maroc's fleet in their early 2000's livery (the revised one without the RAM titles on the tail, circa 2001 to the early 2010's). 
It includes their fleet of 737's, classics (-400's and -500's) and NG's (-700's and -800's), their small fleet of 767-300's, their a321's and their sole 747-400.

Note: there is non-winglets and winglets variants for the 737-700's and the -800's, but RAM's 737NG's (apart from the -800's delivered from 2006/7 and up) delivered without winglets and only began to be retrofitted only in 2006/7, It is why you will find in the atc_id part of the fltsim.txt of those almost the same registrations (but for obvious reasons the winglets variants are based on the 2006/7 fleet so there are also new regs), but all the other 737's (and the a321's) here are based on the year 2004 fleet wise.


So we will start with the olders 737's:


      .737-500's (circa 2004)

     Attachment Deleted

      .737-400's (circa 2004)

Next we have the 737NG's:

       .737-700/WL's

Here's the link to the repaints, and the rest of the previews (737-800's, 767's, A321's and the 747) as while I tried to upload the rest the site said that this forum "has exceeded it's attachment space limit".

So yeah here it is for today lol, hope you all a good day/night !

It does not appear released(though all other CRJ models are completed), though I know that a small group of people on AIG like Kyle M seem to have it so you can try sending them PMs and requesting it to those you see releasing paints.

Ohhh ok, I suspected that it was something like that, I'll see on the AIG forum where they talk about the model to see if they say when they might make the paintkit public, thanks for the info !

I finally uploaded in my Google Drive several projects I've been working on during the last month. Still in the early/mid 2000's spirit, those are:

           -> Atlas Blue's fleet: - 737-400 (4 variants including Atlas Blue/RAM hybrid liveries, on the FAIB model)
                                         - 737-800 ( CN-ROJ sole NG painted in Atlas Blue's livery, only flew for 1 year in those colors, on the FAIB model)
                                         - A321-200 (4 variants including 2 A321's directly delivered to Atlas Blue, and the 2 others coming from RAM's fleet in the late hybrid RAM scheme, on the FAIB model)

           -> CCM (Air Corsica "old colors") fleet: - A319 (2 sets of 2 aircrafts, one without and one with web titles, on the FAIB model)
                                                                   - A320 ( 4 different aircrafts, on the FAIB model)

           -> Air Caraïbes A330-200: includes the 2 first A330's, registered F-OPTP and F-OFDF, of the Guadeloupe (French West Indies) based airline in their early OC, painted on the FSPX model

           -> Air Algérie's fleet: - 727-200 (AIA model)
                                          - 737-200adv (FAIB model)
                                          - 737-600 (2 variants, named and unnamed, on the FAIB model)

                                          - 737-800 and 737-800WL (2 variants each, named and unnamed, on the FAIB model)
                                          - 767-300 (FAIB model)
                                          - A310-200 (TFS model)
                                          - A330-200 (fspx model)

           -> Air Sénégal International fleet (all on the FAIB models): - 737-500
                                                                                                - 737-700 (both of the non-winglet NG's owned by the airline included)
                                                                                                - 737-700WL (includes the sole winglet NG owned by the airline and the 2 others leased by Royal Air Maroc during the last year of operation of Air Sénégal)

I've also added to 2 variants to the Corsair 737-400's, there's now the old colors for both of the airline's 737 available. Each of the 747-300's tail logos have been reworked too (again) to match as much as possible with the reality, same thing with the 747-400's (also reworked the colors of the -400's). And all the Corsair aircrafts in the old colors have been color matched, including the A330-200's.
All of them, and their previews are available on my google drive here, and I've started to upload them on the Avsim Library (all of Corsair's fleet and the Air Seychelles 737 are already uploaded).
