FSX Qantas Boeing 747-400 VH-OEG

This robust repaint captures the iconic Qantas Boeing 747-400 with the registration VH-OEG. Created by Mathew Tank for the PMDG “Queen of the Skies,” it replicates Qantas’s signature red tail with a detailed kangaroo logo and bold fuselage markings. Qantas, widely recognized as Australia’s flag carrier, has operated various 747-400 airframes over the years, supporting global routes that connect to major destinations across continents. This particular design is fully optimized for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, providing a realistic visual experience for virtual long-haul operations. Note that you must own the PMDG payware model separately.

Attention to the Distinctive Qantas Features

The livery’s elements adhere closely to Qantas’s real-world branding, showcasing carefully placed cheatlines and accurate color shades. The registration “VH-OEG” references an actual aircraft once used by Qantas, reflecting the carrier’s longstanding history of Boeing 747 operations. Every fuselage panel, door outline, and engine cowling has been repainted to highlight the aesthetic that the airline is known for.
