Opinions on the overall design now?
not bad indeed
757's couldn't fly transatlantic in the 80's, ETOPS hadn't been invented yet, and the 757 didn't get ETOPS until the late 90's/early 00's

“ Trans World Airlines operated the first 120-minute ETOPS (ETOPS-120) service on February 1, 1985, with a Boeing 767-200 from Boston to Paris.”

This isn't a 767, and a livery like this probably wouldn't last to 1985.

Not every livery is repainted immediately, even if a newer livery was in circulation. If Avion received 1983 and painted it in this livery, it could stay painted in this livery for the coming years. The first 757 ETOPS flight was 1986, which would be within the reasonable timeframe for the 757s livery.
Livery over all is good, for some reason the livery reminds me of a TU-204. But good work none the less!
