The story behind the livery
Austrian Airlines began operating the Hawker Siddeley HS-748 in the 1960s, using the reliable British turboprop to serve regional European routes and domestic connections that larger jets could not efficiently operate. The 1968 livery reflects the airline in its classic pre-merger era — before the consolidations that would reshape Austrian aviation — wearing a refined colour scheme that perfectly embodied the restrained elegance of Central European airline design of the period. Austrian was one of relatively few Western European carriers to operate the HS-748, making this a distinctive and rarely modelled chapter in the airline's long history.
For collectors of European aviation or Austrian Airlines specifically, this early livery represents a period almost entirely absent from the scale modelling market.
