Pencil Twins: A 757-300 Wishlist

Even though the 757-300 only sold 55 units to 7 customers it has recorded a strong service record and worn a surprisingly high number of liveries. Here I've found 40 possible 757-300s that can be made, of which so far only 16 have been produced on existing moulds. Now NG Models have announced the 753 we will surely get the opportunity to see a lot more of these schemes realised in 400 scale.

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.

Boeing 757-300 Mould Review

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.

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.

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.

Condor

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.

Transavia

The Dutch airline leased a couple of 757-300s from Condor, which wore this hybrid scheme.

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.
