Default Leased Atlas 747-8F to operate in full Qantas Freight colours

https://airlinerwatch.com/qantas-tak...boeing-747-8f/

That was a pleasant surprise, and hopefully means we'll get to see 747s in Qantas colours for a bit longer.

Doesn’t look real to me. Why would they paint a brand new aircraft in the old livery?
The pictures I’ve seen show an Atlas Air livery with a few small Qantas logos.

Is the fake rego on the 748F VH-XQF? The X is partly obscured on the fuselage.

Not Atlas, It's QF freight management who don't want the aircraft in Qantas livery.
