Kuwait Airways 'Classic' (9K-AHG)
By Yosri A. in Community Liveries
Kuwait Airways 9K-AHG, named "Wara", was an A300C4-600, which is a rare variant of the A300-600 that can be converted to a freighter. In fact, Kuwait Airways did use this aircraft as a freighter for some time, and some photos of it can be found online bearing the word "CARGO" in red. Compared to the A300-600, the A300C4-600 has a large freight door on the port side of the aircraft as well as no wing-end fences. This livery has the freight door drawn on the port side. I could not cleanly remove the wing-end fences, so they remain in there.
9K-AHG aircraft was destroyed during an allied bombing of the airport where it was located at the time, however the name "Wara" reappeared on 9K-AMD, a newer Airbus A300 that Kuwait Airways acquired later on.

Kuwait Airways 'Classic' (A6-KUC)
By Yosri A. in Community Liveries
A retro Kuwait Airways livery for the iniBuilds Airbus A310-300. This livery was what you would see on a Kuwait Airways aircraft from the 70's to the early 90's. Kuwait operated eight A310-300s and the same amount of A300-200s, though it is hard to find images of the -300 variant in the retro livery form as apparently these aircraft were mainly short-term leases, hence the registration numbers starting with A6 rather than the Kuwaiti 9K.
I tried to capture as much details for this specific registration, including the unpainted leading edge of the tail, partly-white left engine cowling, and yellow "Do Not Forget our P.O.W's" banner, commonly seen on Kuwait Airways aircraft in the early 90's.
Kuwait flew the A310 to many destinations including Bahrain, Bombay, Frankfurt, Luxor, Riyadh, Rome, Cairo, Tripoli, and Tunis. See https://www.routesonline.com/news/38/airlineroute/264562/199091-kuwait-airways-prior-to-gulf-war-i/ for a list of '90/'91 Kuwait Airways routes.

Kuwait Airways 'Classic' (A6-KUE)
By Yosri A. in Community Liveries
A realistic retro Kuwait Airways livery. This is very similar to my other livery for the A6-KUC, but the right engine is fully painted here and the nose has a black dot instead of white, making it even closer to what Kuwait Airways liveries were like before the mid-1990s.
