I’m confused with Malaysia’s new final paint scheme . The video above shows an all white fuselage with Malaysia’s name and with a logo on the tail . The artist impressions below show a blue design on the fuselage, nacelles and tail . What’s up?
The video doesn’t show the completed painting. It just shows a first glimpse.
