What could have been: Air New Zealand A310 And 757

Based on two models currently in the Muldoon Collection at the Museum of Transport and Technology (MOTAT) in Auckland.
In the early '80s, Air New Zealand was looking around for a medium-range aircraft to accomodate the gap between their Boeing 737s and 747s, eventually ordering three Boeing 767-200ERs in 1984. Assuming the models were done as the airline was starting their search.

    Question: Why does the A310 have engine stripes, but the 757 doesn't?

     

    Still incredible concepts, though!

    The A310 is in Air New Zealand's DC-10 livery (the first one with the Koru) albeit modified, while the 757 was in the revised 80's-'90s livery as seen on the 767s.

    Very nice!
