First production 747-8F painted for KC-X tanker competition

Okay, not really. But the title got your attention, didn't it?

RC502, the first production 747-8F (no. 1423), left the paint hangar in Everett on Tuesday afternoon painted in BMS10-103 primer gray. Obliging Mr. Cawby, we can now officially speculate as to whether or not this first new jumbo freighter for Cargolux will receive a new color scheme ahead of the first delivery currently targeted for late this year.

Here's what RC502 looked like unpainted in the factory.
