The story behind the livery
Lufthansa operated a fleet of Vickers Viscounts during the late 1950s and 1960s as part of its re-establishment as one of Europe's leading carriers after World War II. The VC-814 was a specifically configured variant ordered to Lufthansa's requirements, and its 1965 livery — featuring the iconic early crane logo and the clean, restrained German styling of the era — represents the Viscount at the height of its European service career. By the mid-1960s, the type was being replaced by jets on trunk routes, making this livery a record of the propeller era's graceful final chapter at Lufthansa.
The Lufthansa Viscount is one of the most historically significant and visually beautiful Viscount subjects in European aviation, and this decal set is the only way to accurately recreate it in any scale.
