Engines are not required as long as the aircraft is in station 30.

I think engine will only be fitted in after painting? I remember read it somewhere in this forum...

I remember read it somewhere in this forum... If we go by what Airbus says, yes, the aircraft should be painted before having engines installed, however MSN1-5 had engine installation before painting. If you read upthread you'll see a post by Baroque saying the engines have yet to be delivered so I think that they'll probably paint the aircraft first. |

I was looking at this thread a bit more closely and realised that the same part (the forward fuselage) was spotted at XFW twice, once on the 12th of November ( link) and once more on the 11th of December ( link). This is leading me to believe that the part on the 11th of December was actually MSN7. Thoughts? |

You seem to be right, jkkw ! The MSN number is hard to read in the distance.
