Plane liveries don’t really catch our eye. Its not something that makes us awe, maybe because of its plain and simple appearance. Its also cheaper to keep things simple and amount of colours to a minimum. After all, a plane does require a few hundred litres of paint to be painted fully although the paint coating is less than 3 millimeters thick.

But there are some planes out there that makes you say wow because of their paintwork. These liveries range from cartoon characters being painted to the plane to special themes or events. here are some famous ones that are bound to make you admire they’re paintwork…
