The story behind the livery
The year 1954 marked a defining moment in aviation history — the revival of Lufthansa after World War II. The Convair CV-340 was among the first aircraft to wear the reborn Lufthansa livery, representing a fresh start for German commercial aviation. This early delivery livery, worn before the airline entered full service, is a rarely reproduced collector's piece that captures a unique transitional moment in Lufthansa's iconic history.
This decal set faithfully reproduces the complete 1954 delivery livery: fuselage titles, early Lufthansa crane logo, registration markings, and cabin windows — all researched from historical photographic and archival references.
