Airbus SAS’s first flyable A350 rolled out of the paint shop as engineers prepare for the maiden test flight in coming weeks. The plane, with a blue Airbus logo and the A350 name painted onto a white fuselage, emerged from the hangar today in Saint Martin, a suburb of Toulouse in southwestern France, where Airbus also paints its wide-body A330 planes.[/quote]
Well, it certainly looks better in the full livery than it did as a green skin
And it even has engines now

Posted: Tue May 14, 2013 10:00 pmRemove the livery and you could be looking at a dreamliner 
Posted: Tue May 14, 2013 10:39 pmWell not really... they've tried to make it look like something not styled by a committee of Beancounters.
Whether the Zorro Mask effect works for you...?
Of more interest to passengers: this one is wider than the Dreamliner, whose ANA 2-4-2 seating won't happen.
10-abreast it will be, and that is truly horrible.
