So after the panels? Bins? Will seats come in at this point or later? Noticed then it said it will do outdoor tests which means station 20? Sounds like it should be outside this month.

Panels and bins are usually installed together. Seats should be next. I assume she will move to station 18 for outdoor tests next month.

MSN2 was in station 30 for 2 months and 2 weeks. This is an unbelievable performance, since MSN 3 was approximately three months in station 30, without cabin installation. So, we have two excellent pieces of news : - Final assembly gets quicker and quicker. - The first cabin installation was easy and posed no problem. |

Yes it's extremely good news. It spent less time in station 30 despite being more complex duo to the cabin. Although the most expensive cabin items like first class seats will be installed in station 20.

Apparently the "A350" title won't be horizontal anymore. It looks almost like the Boeing style. Or the old Airbus Style   Airbus Industrie Airbus A330-300; F-WWKA, June 1993 by Aero Icarus, on Flickr From what I can see from the tail in the daylight photos, it looks like there will be some kind of Carbon Fibre design like what Airbus uses as a background in the following image.  |
