Norwegian Air Shuttle

[MAC Admin]

Soon to start flying to Liverpool and as the 3rd biggest lo-cost operator in Europe after Ryanair and Easyjet surprised we do't have a model of one in 1/400 yet, quite nice liveries too: They're also due 787 dreamliners next year.<div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Infact the 5 biggest lo-cost operators in Europe:</div><div>Ryanair, Easyjet, Norwegian, Air Berlin and Wizzair are quite limited on the 1/400 market apart from easyjet but even that was quite recent. I'd like to see more of these released, may have to go for the 1/200 Inflight Norwegian 737-800 at some point</div>

It's Norwegian Air Shuttle to be precise, trading simply as 'Norwegian'. The radio callsign is 'Norshuttle' and they are a very ambitious airline with over 60 aircraft in service and another 250 odd on order! Unlike Ryanair and EasyJet they are taking their low cost service long haul with 8 787s on order, the first of which should arrive next Spring.

My mistake, infact I copied someone elses mistake! Going long haul with the 787s should be an interesting one to watch

Beautiful looking livery! Does each aircraft have different tail artwork, or are the ones show here just special liveries?

[MAC Admin]

Each one is meant to have someone famous from Norway, Sweden or Denmark. Pretty cool and unique I think

Ok, that is a nice touch then! It is always nice when carriers go with something different.

Herpa has done some in 1:500 scale already. I think they would be a good seller in 1:400 scale.

I totally agree, the 1:400 market in Europe has huge potential...just need someone to start making them. I collect 1:400 models of the airlines I have flown on and may have to wait a little longer to fly Norwegian!
Its a long way from Australia so that shouldn't be too hard!!!
