Just saw the new Aeroflot colours on a couple of Russian machines. IMO these look great:

Tu134:
Tu134

Tu154:
Tu 154

I know many will miss the classic c/s, but I feel that outside the aviation fans, it is seen as old fashioned, stuck in the past and associated with everything that was bad about aeroflot and communist Russia, and that Aeroflot need an image revamp.

I am seriously glad they have kept the flying hammer and sickle, at least for now.

I think that's the same pic that someone posted on here last week or so. It does look great, I'm in full agreement on that score.

OK, sorry, I wasn't around to see it.

Any of our artists able to show us this c/s on a TU-144 - I bet it would look awesome!!

I think they are trying to get away from that old soviet look.

You can primp it and preen it as much as you like, the fact remains that it is still a TU-134

It's a really nice colour scheme which looks great on the 767, alright on the 154 but dreadful on the Yak-40.
