Reg: N535US
Delivered to NWA at 14/11/1995, initially without winglets. While wearing it's latest (and final) livery and fitted with winglets, at some point N535US had to borrow the rudder of an United Parcel Service Boeing 757 while its original rudder was undergoing maintenance, but both engines had mismatched coloring on both sides, even after N535US got its proper rudder back. Eventually repainted in Delta Airlines livery following NWA's merger with Delta Airlines, eliminating the mismatched engine colors. The aircraft is currently in active service.
I love this type of 'mismatched' livery. Good recreation! One thing though - the final NWA livery benefits probably more than any other from adjusting details to show fuselage curvature. The logo behind the fuselage titles should be 'smushed down' (technical term) at the top where the fuselage curves away.
