What a beautiful bird! Well done Tony  Comparing this preview to real pictures, it looks pretty spot on. |

This will seem nitpicky, but I did notice some minor inaccuracies. I don't want to come off the wrong way. I truly appreciate you doing this for me. I was just wondering if it would be alright if I could suggest a couple minor changes before you release this repaint.

I just annotated your screenshot along with real-world images so you can get an idea of the differences. Attachment Deleted |

Also, the nose cone should not have the black area on the front, but instead should be all white.

I will revisit this one, however the tail logo I checked and it is about the right size and placement

This looks very nice Tony. Could you link the photo you were referring to with the black circle on the nose? This makes me curious because in all of the pictures I've seen so far, the nose cones are all white. Example: c1.staticflickr.com/7/6011/6013827344_88e8c2cf20_z.jpg |

It´s not uncommon to find aircraft within any particular airline fleet supporting subtle variations of livery details. Such variations can reflect the time/period .... and include details such as black or non-coloured nose radomes .... as well as including the like of larger/smaller/thicker or repositioned titles and logos too. At HJG we "DO" strive for accuracy .... where possible .... usually only limited (or even frustrated) by either the lack of reference resource available and/or the diemensions and contours of various 3D models which in some cases does also impair desirable accuracy. Folk making repaint requests do, perhaps, need to bear these facts in mind Given the extent of my own personal knowledge of such details, limitations, and these particular MD80 models too .... I think Tony´s done "a pretty good job" here Mark C BOG/CO |

Mark C BOF/CO ...and of course, there are: Leases - Dan-Air's 727 G-BHYT regularly was leased out during the winter and sported the Lacsa c/s with Dan-Air titles (1983) on return then later, Sun Country titles over the Dan-Air c/s (1985). Not forgetting the Boeing 727-100s leased from ATA to BA as linkjed on a separate thread by Peter Liddell (thanks BTW). Part replacements - the most famous examples are where airlines swapped spares and despite old rivalries, BA and Pan Am often swapped engines complete with painted cowlings for their Stratocruiser fleets. Another example is BIA BAC 1-11 G-AYWB pictured in John K Morton's Lost Airline Liveries (Airlife), which has a nosecone from a similar 1-11 although the cheatlines are not aligned properly for the replacement. Indeed, BA often had Tridents and 1-11s flying around with odd rudders and although less common these days, there was at least one B757 that sported a replacement nosecone a few years back. I agree that it is difficult to represent all of these for a site like HJG and in the case of the BIA 1-11 not aesthetically pleasing anyway.  |

It´s actually possible to represent them (most of them at least) in cases of mutiple variations of a particular airline/operator livery (in fact we´ve already done that to a large extent in respect of the the MEXICANA B727´s and the BRANIFF liveries) .... provided that adequate/good quality reference resourses are first available and that such liveries can then be applied to 3D models with relative ease. However .... in some cases it´s particular issues associated with some livery details in relation to the contours/surfaces of some 3D models which can make the replication some liveries either very challenging/difficult, or, completely impractical. Possibly .... the only other limiting factor (in the case of repaints requests at least) is the fact that any particular repaint request must first "APPEAL" to an FS artist with the ability to be able to reproduce it Mark C BOG/CO |
