Did we reach consensus as to whether the tail is covered or unpainted? It 'is' unpainted My theory is the following: by the time the tail was needed for MSN 166, Ethiad had not yet firmly decided for the new color schema. So when this bird will be in Hamburg paint hall, it will be painted the same as MSN 170; don't beat me if I am wrong.......!!!!!!

I have a different idea a380.boards.net/post/26569/thread but I guess we'll know more if/when we see the Tail for MSN176

That Etihad tweet with other special liveries indicate to me that MSN170 will have a special livery as well, meaning the real new livery will be something else.

Question: when will we see MSN 176 convoyed to Toulouse ? May be we all have to bet that this will be the next frame to be conveyed so that we can put to rest this intense and nerve breaking question about Ethiad A380 livery........

I think if MSN 166 has a new livery (diferent to MSN 170), then MSN 176 will also feature a white tail, so that the proper new livery is not revealed. (we need someone from the A380-tail paint hangar )

.......unless MSN176 also has a special livery.. That is a possibility, EY has two A330's in a special livery, so why not two A380's
