The story behind the livery
Air Commerz was a short-lived German charter airline that operated in the early 1970s, flying the elegant Vickers Viscount on leisure routes at a time when package holiday travel was just beginning to boom in West Germany. The airline ceased operations after only a few years, making its livery one of the rarest and most sought-after subjects in vintage German aviation modelling — virtually impossible to find as a commercial decal anywhere else.
This decal set faithfully reproduces the complete 1971 Air Commerz livery: fuselage titles, registration markings, tail insignia, and window frames — all researched from historical photographic and archival references.
