Inside the A380 UV Wiremap

Fifteen materials. Fuselage in five sections, both wings split into inner and outer surfaces, both engines, the pylon, the wingfence, the cockpit windshield frame, and a catch-all accessories material. Every one of them now has a numbered, colored UV island reference map.

That's the wiremap you can rotate on the Fleet page right now — the same reference an artist paints from, just without any paint on it yet. It's the honest state of the flagship: mapped, not painted. When the cheatline lands, this post gets a sequel.
