Damn even in my jokes i make a typo.... it meant to read "swerve" 

Aeroflot Plus (1996-2012) Logo 

Have got an first day stamp of the An-32P… maybe that should be an inspiration for a future build 

Finally found the angles for the stylized globe in Aeroflot Plus' tail design... Using GMT to make a rough render wich i can stylize in Illustrator to make both the left and right side of the stabilizer design.... I found that MANY (if not all!) of the kits and models have atleast one side of the design wrong. The left shows europe, the right shows japan... some just use an mirrored copy of the other

If someone is interested: it seems they used a perspective projection (G in GMT Terms) centered on 75E/45N additionally they rotated the rotational axis ~26° (almost correct physical angle btw!!) on each side aft (c.f. russianplanes.net/id28954 and russianplanes.net/id11996) 

left a "freehand" attempt and right based on my own GMT map projection -- respective (slightly distortet) reference photos are below 

Taildesign for the 2009 livery of RA65559 -- note differences in the globe! left one can see the iberian peninsula, right japan and the indonesian islands 

2007 Design on the left, 2009 Design on the right 

Just because I like the Natural Earth Colors, here a quick rendition of the perspective in Natural Earth I.
