From the very beginning right up to now the tail cone on new-built and unpainted A380's is always white, while the rest is a sort of drab green. Why the difference? |

If you look at the HTP, belly fairing, outer flaps, and tail cone, you will notice they are all white. These are all parts made out of CFRP so I figure that this confirms that this is the reason.  |
