...I continue with my project to show what some of my favorite BA "World Tails" would have looked like on 747s had the Utopia project lasted longer. Following on from the recent L'esprit Liberté project, here is a completed Flowers of Mazowsze Tail representing Poland. In real life, this tail only flew on a single 737-300 (G-OGBC) but I think it would have looked great on the 747. Donor model was yet another Inflight200 Rendezvous model.

Also shown, but not completed is Grand Union, representing England with designs from the Canal of the same name. This tail flew on a couple of 737s, a 757 and an E-145. The basic design is the same, but the decals shrank more than I expected, and I need to redo them. Donor model was a (BlueBox?) Nalanji Dreaming model.

[EDIT - this probably should be in the custom section... please feel free to move]
