This exclusive repaint showcases Qantas’ distinctive “Come Play” theme on the Boeing 747-400 (registration VH-OEB), designed specifically for the payware PMDG 747-400 series. It is offered at no charge and provides a realistic representation of the Australian airline’s iconic special livery. By Mathew Tank.

Qantas 747-400 in the “Come Play” Colors

The livery re-creates the Come Play branding, highlighting bold fuselage graphics and details representative of Qantas operations. Qantas, recognized as the flag carrier of Australia, has operated the 747 for many long-haul routes, and this repaint emphasizes the airline’s vibrant promotional scheme that was once featured on their wide-body fleet. Compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator X, this add-on fits right into serious simmers’ hangars, preserving accurate markings such as the aircraft’s registration and Qantas signage.

Technical Notes and Engine Details

This repaint is tailored for the PMDG “Queen of the Skies” add-on and reflects a General Electric (GE) engine configuration. The PMDG 747-400 payware model replicates systems fidelity, high-resolution external modeling, and cockpit instrumentation. This livery complements those features by illustrating external textures with crisp logos, fuselage details, and placeholder surfaces for the aircraft hull. Please note that the payware base package is not included and can be obtained separately from retailers such as SimShack.
