How did you determine it is MSN160 and it is unpainted. I can only see the tail and it is as usual painted?

I've got a feeling that this frame hasn't yet started a real outfitting, and that has waited in a FL hangar until yesterday when another frame demanded it.
It could make sense, as the entire QR project is currently delayed in respect of the original schedule.
Im my view, in OF now we could have MSN 158+159+164 EK, 161+163 BA, and MSN 166 EY.
MSN 157 should also be quite ready inside the paint shop.
Ciao!

In that case I don't Airbus would have built it yet, that's a lot of money just sitting there idle....
