That looks really nice. I thought they would never come out with special livery anymore after Hibiscus and Heliconia. Oneworld colour matches A380 blue livery.

Mohd Azizul Ramli, there's a treasure trove of MH pics (aircraft + interior) on instagram!

 

A treasure it is, another one surfaced, as leaked by the MH Rumour Department:

Now if only we can get a snap on the alleged A380...

Considering only the words "member of oneworld" were added much like the other oneworld liveries we've seen on air Berlin etc, maybe we're in for a special full body oneworld livery on 9M-MND much like the one on JAL's? :D I noticed that original liveries which clashed with the "member of....." words such as CX's resulted in the adaptation of the complete euro white livery. IMO, the stickers on MH's A380 wouldn't have clashed with the words, so why leave her naked for so long? I'm probably hoping for too much though, hahaha

There's a thread up in A.Net asking about MND. The thread starter spotted MND still in its all white color in Heathrow on 26 January 2013. So, is there enough time for MH to give MND a full special livery body paint between 27 - 30 January 2013 before the unveiling on 31 January 2013?

Not too sure about that tbh. But, even if she isn't going to spot a full on special livery, she is going to be the first A380 ever spotting an alliance livery :clapping:

If it flew yesterday and back to KUL today, then there will be almost certain that no special livery will be applied on MND.

 

The retro livery took 8 days to be completed,

 

End November - Paint rub-down. Because MXA is a fairly new paint, it is not required for a complete paint strip.

2 Dec - Wash

3 Dec - Primer Application

4 Dec - White, MAS Blue Text Application, Black Nose

5 Dec - Grey Application

6 Dec - Red Application

7 Dec - 40 Anniversary Decal Application

8 Dec - Clear Coat Application

9 Dec - Removal of over-wing masking and dockings

 

let alone an aircraft as big as MND. It could still be on the plan, but certainly not for the event on 31 January.

In one of the pictures posted by Azizul, they did some repaint the tail to match as on A380. I'm glad they use the new style for the title.

Might it not be revealed on the KUL-CDG inaugural flight?

 

Sending inaugural A380 flight to CDG with special Oneworld livery is like MH giving middle finger to AF for denying their entry into Skyteam(if the rumour about it is true) :D
