Sunwings | Boeing 757-200 | 1996-

i'd much rather brands that don't make sense but look nice as opposed to some basic ****ing A350 with some random colours slapped on pretending to be some random airline

I'm not sure what that whole A350 tirade is referring to but I'm not sure if you've noticed that this 757 here basically has random colors slapped on? Doesn't stop it from being a nice livery though, cause as I said it looks realistic both in terms of time period and location (name notwithstanding). 

EDIT: Hold on I just realized you're not even the creator of this what's this whole argument even for then? How about we both stfu and stop spamming the comments on poor Belgium's post

Yeah I could give you a properly explained answer to that, but clearly you're not interested in that are you. I've lived in Russia for two decades, flown hundreds if not thousands of flights on Russian carriers some of which you've never even heard of, watched closely the rise (and sometimes fall) of the entirety of the Russian aviation industry and especially the brand development and evolution of many of these airlines. So yeah I'd say I have a pretty ****ing good understanding of what works on a Russian brand and what doesn't, and while to someone who has no idea what they're ****ing talking about and no clue how names work in Russia, stuff like 'Nordwind' and 'Red Wings' seems the same as 'Sunwings', I can tell you it's definitely not. That's exactly why people who are actually interested in making a realistic Russian brand often listen to my input, especially regarding coming up with names that work - if you're not, then sure, enjoy Sunwings as a 'Russian' name.

 

And British International was explicitly not a flag carrier, but ok?

Agreed

made my dick retract btw

honestly that'd be a really sweet name for a US LCC I could just imagine it, MD-80s/MD-90s and 757-200s in the mid 90s until about the mid/late 2000s when they switched to like Airbus or 737NG and kept the 757s maybe with some refurbishing, installed the blended winglets whenever they became available.
