  Singapore National Day 2009 

 

Greetings from tropical Singapore!

I know this can be quite boring for some and I promise this would be my last submission on ARC on a 144th Singapore Airlines B777-200. This time, its done in its latest livery, sporting larger fonts and Singapore flag, a reduced tail livery, Rolls Royce engines with no SQ logos and orange wing flaps indicators (most likely inspired by similar indicators first painted on the giant wing flaps of the A380).

The model is built straight OOB, airbrushed based on the standard Singapore Airlines paint scheme of it's large fleet of B777s. The wing flaps were highlighted with a very thin black marker pen and fuselage painted with white automotive spray paint.  This model is, once again, built for a SQ pilot who flies this A/C regularly on routes in the Asia-Pacific region and currently, most of the 777s have taken over the routes previously flown by the B747-400s (AKA "MegaTops" in SQ service).

Hope you enjoy my artwork and pictures. Happy 44th Birthday Singapore!
