Well... I like a Challenge But this is a complicated colorscheme... I'm having alot of "fun" with the aft fuselage, especially since the splits all fall right over the texture breaks... but I'll manage... just take some time... might switch to the billboard schemes for a bit if i get too annoyed at this... and to think I've got to modify this twice, once for the DC10-10, and again for the ex-MAS lease with red tail. *sigh* |

Looking "GREAT" Peter .... and that's "quite a list" I was aware of 3 of the definitive livery styles for WA, but, had no idea as many variatios as you've found (be some of these hybrids or not) actually applied. Mark C AKL/nZ |

"NICE GOING" Peter .... and certainly/obviosly a great deal more variation among the fleet (livry-wise) than I was ever aware existed Previously .... I'd always thought of WORLD AIRWAYS in terms of just the original gold/red striping with the winged globe tail logo (my personal favourate), then the white livery with large red/blue "WORLD" titles an "W" tail logo, and finally the white version with smaller black titles and the blue glove tail logo .... as was also applklied to thei MD11's. What you've presented so far is "A CREDIT TO YOU" Mark C AKL/NZ |

Thanks Mark... Yea World went through several major business changes over the years and paint schemes to match. The "black" and white globe scheme is actually pretty easy, I just need to modify the window/doors for each... The ones I'm having more difficulty with are the red/gold ones... N103WA even I can't get the tail quite right to my eye... but I'm sure I will. Haven't even thought about the final Blue/Red scheme... Here though.... This a.net search shows the sheer variety |

THey're "pretty darned good" Peter .... honestly Based on my recent (but I admit limited) painting experience .... Sometimes (it seems) we've go to accept whatever FS throws back at us .... or rather .... limits us to being able to do. All models have their little imperfections and anomalies which can frustrate our abilities to represent certain details as good/authentically as we'd like. I think I can see what may be worrying you, but, I'll share my "suggestion/s" (based on my own experience with the PSD's we have and these models) with you privately .... probably sometime during the weekend since I'm tied up with property masintenance here at the moment Mark C AKL/NZ |

Thanks Mark, I know the DC-10's texture qwirks pretty well... It's just the paint on the #2 pylon/tail area that's not scaling right... honestly it's probably acceptable to most people as is, but I got frustrated, then got busy, so I'll loop back to it and get it done to my satisfaction... probably after I punch out a few others... I've got the Blue/Red billboard DC-10-10 about 60% done so it'll probably be next |

.... and I know these'll look "ABSOLUTELY STUNNING" once your done too
