Default Blue Hawaii Air

I'm creating my own airline, in 1/400 scale, to serve Hawaii from Asia, N. America and Europe. The first aircraft is a B-747-400 previously owned by Virgin Atlantic. The picture below is fairly accurate except for the tail. The tail looks like water, but in the photos it just looks like a bad paint job.

Wink Great name! Just use the song Blue Hawaii in your AD's.

I think it goes something like this "Night and you and Blue Hawaii....? I have forgotton the rest! If not use some cool surfing music! I would do both depending on your audience! I need to pick up those white Dragon 767 and 747 to put the branding of made up airlines I have done profiles for! I work on the designes since 1993.

Default BH European service

Nik,
Inital service would be to London followed by Frankfurt. England is number one in European visitors to Hawaii followed closely by Germany.

Thumbs up blue...

From the looks of things, I'd say you have a code-share deal with AA/BA, which eventually turn into full membership in 'oneworld'....

Looks very authentic to me, have you thought about trying to launch this airline in 1/1?
