Hawker Siddeley HS748 (Merpati Nusantara Airlines 1985)

Follow Merpati Nusantara's visual evolution into its mature mid-decade identity with this historically accurate decal set for the Hawker Siddeley HS-748 in the Merpati Nusantara Airlines 1985 livery.

By 1985, Merpati Nusantara Airlines had grown into one of Southeast Asia's most extensive regional networks, serving hundreds of destinations across the Indonesian archipelago with a mixed fleet of turboprops and small jets. The Hawker Siddeley HS-748 remained a cornerstone of operations on thinner island routes, and the 1985 livery reflects the airline in a more confident, established phase — a refined colour scheme that built on the earlier identity while projecting a more modern image befitting Indonesia's growing economic ambitions of the decade. The mid-1980s marked the peak of Merpati's HS-748 operations, with the type flying to some of the most remote and rarely visited corners of the archipelago.

This is the second of three Merpati Nusantara HS-748 liveries in the Memodec collection, bridging the gap between the original 1972 scheme and the final 1988 variant.
