As predicted it was only MSN033 seen in Hamburg over the last few days MSN040 is still in the paint hall. MSN043 was seen taxing under its own power this week and the race is on to see who will fly first out of MSN025 and MSN043.
Air France has confirmed that it is MSN033 on the flightline. But now people are reporting that the second photo the one with the paint wrapper on engine #2 is MSN040 being moved to another hall. As all the other photos show the wrapper off and with the nacelle. We are yet to confirm this though.
People have been reporting that MSN033 has made it to the flightline in Hamburg but my sources are indicating that this is MSN040 which was flown to Hamburg in early June and as painting takes around a month this is highly likely. Here is a picture of the Air France A380, We will have updates as they come.
Also MSN025 for Emirates has started taxing and first flight will happen very soon.
