Plastmodeller Revell Airbus A380 New Livery

One of the key milestones in the Airbus A380 programme took place on   18th January 2005. The world's first full-length twin-deck aircraft was   officially revealed to the world for the first time at a ceremony to  be  held in the Jean-Luc Lagardere Final Assembly Line hall at Toulouse,   France. More than 4,500 guests attended this event. The A380 reveal  will  also mark the launch of Airbus' new livery. The change in livery,  the  first since the A310.

The first A380 to take to the air landed at   Blagnac international airport in Toulouse, France on 27th April 2005 at   14.23 local time (12.23h UTC) after successfully completing its first  flight that lasted three hours and 54 minutes. For its first flight, the   A380 took off at a weight of 421 tonnes / 928.300 lbs, the highest  ever  of any civil airliner to date. This maiden voyage, during which  all  primary flight test objectives were met, marks the beginning of a   rigorous test flight campaign involving five A380. The scope and rigour   of the A380 ground and flight test programme should also prepare for a   smooth entry into service.
