As discussed in the mould review for the stretch 757 there have been 27 releases in 400 scale up to mid-2023, however these include quite a few duplicates and not all liveries are represented.
In this list the aim is to illustrate all the possibilities, whether they have been made before in 400 scale and if so by whom.
House Colours
âNOT MADE âAmerican Trans Air / ATA Airlines MADE BY GEMINI JETS
Continental - United
The CO/UA 757-300s operated in basically the same livery for their entire lives until recently. The CO birds were delivered without winglets originally.
âMADE BY DRAGON WINGS & GEMINI JETS âNOT MADE MADE BY GEMINI JETS MADE BY GEMINI JETS
Northwest - Delta
As far as I'm aware there are 3 NW livery variants. The classic bowling shoe and the two NWA variants (silver and light grey). With Delta only one scheme has been worn but winglets were fitted to make two variants.

By my count there has been an astonishing at least 16 livery variants for the 757-300 in Condor service of which only 5 have been made to date. They are:

Azur Air Ukraine
One of the most recent operators was Azur Air Ukraine. It's a little unclear what these aircraft are doing now but they are registered to a Skyline Express Airlines and apparently stored.
NOT MADE âTransavia
The Dutch airline leased a couple of 757-300s from Condor, which wore this hybrid scheme.
NOT MADE Air Q
The very latest operator of the stretch 757 appeared as I was writing this piece. They are a Kazakh outfit flying this ex-Condor Ukrainian registered aircraft for a Turkish tour operator.
