The story behind the livery
Lauda Air was founded by Formula One World Champion Niki Lauda in 1979, initially operating charter flights out of Vienna before gradually expanding into scheduled services. The BAC 1-11 sr.500 was among the first jet types operated by the airline, carrying the bold early livery that reflected Lauda's personal flair and the airline's unconventional spirit. In 1985, Lauda Air was still a young and scrappy charter operator, years before it would grow into a full international carrier — making this an early and rarely documented chapter in the airline's story.
This livery is virtually absent from the scale modelling market, offering collectors a unique opportunity to represent one of Europe's most celebrated airlines at the very beginning of its journey.
