Title: Aircraft painting competition.
Post by: EHM-1001 Robert on September 27, 2009, 11:48:15 am
You may heard, that MALÉV Hungarian Airlines have raised a competition during the summer for painting the fleet's newcomer airplane, the so-called "ugly plane": Bombardier (Dash-8) Q400. The task was to paint on something that delivers Hungarian spirit throughout Europe. The winner design will be painted on the real airplane: HA-LQD. You can read about the competition in more details at www.malev.com

I also entered the competition with 3 designs, one of these went through and got into Top20 selection ! MAny of the jury members said I have a good chance for winning it. The project is in a bit delay, but probably soon, visitor voting will be started on the website. If you like the design (or any other) please support it by voting. As soon there will be a link, I will post it here.

And finally some images of my design (showing flowers in folk motifs). Screenshots made with applying paint on Dreamwings Q400 model in FS2004.

Thx Andrei !

Suddenly the voting appeared, but only on the hungarian site, and they selected the worst of all my images for presentation :) You need to register, so if you would not like to bother with this stuff, no problem ;)

The link is: http://www.malev.hu/szavazas but be aware it is a very very slow page ! At the bottom you can select the paintwork and give your data, as (fill in everything otherwise vote is invalid):
- family name
- first name
- phone number
- e-mail
TICK - if you want to participate on the draw of a (Budapest-Europe) Malév retour ticket for 2 persons.

Thank you anyway.

C'mon pilots, let's support a fellow EHM-er ;)

That is superb work! I particularly love the way the thin red and green branches come from the tail tri-color flag.
Voting!

Robert,

You'll be glad to know that the competition has made it into "Flight International" magazine's webpages so there should be plenty of voters!!

The page is here:-  http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2009/10/06/333132/malev-shortlists-designs-in-q400-livery-competition.html (http://www.flightglobal.com/articles/2009/10/06/333132/malev-shortlists-designs-in-q400-livery-competition.html)

Anyone who hasn't voted yet, there are only a few days left to support Robert ;)

Wow ! Then it really went international :) I am sure organizers will be amazed on the number of votes arrived. Just like when the Gov announced a naming competition for out brand new bridge, and it got more than 10 million hits within a week - the amnount of Hunarys complete population. This happened after Stephen Colbert US showman asked votes on it on TV :)

Hi Robert,

Great design mate ... congratulations :)

But! I think that the "hungarian tattoo" will win ...  :P

Bruno
