Hi, just want to know what is the difference between version 5 and 6? Great job on the website.
Thanks,
Bill

As a non-aircraft modeller and non-painter, and avoiding going into technical discription too .... which's probably over my head anyway. The most obvious improvements I see are better shaped rear fuselage tail cone, and improved wing box area and wing root shaping.
Our painters can no doubt give you a much more technical analysis of the other improvements they know about.

Mark is correct about the wing root area. The entire belly pan around the wing root was rebuilt and textured seperately, and the winsheilds were slightly modified and frames were smoothed into the rest of the body.
Cheers, Gary

Thanks, will all the 707 series be upgraded to V6?

Eventually .... YEAH !
From my personal experiments, all the V5 B707 textures fit the new "V6" B707's fine.
The only area of incompatibility of V5 textures with new "V6" models I've observed is on a small portion of lower fuselage wing box and a very tiny piece of leading edge wing root. These small areas will appear either black or opaque texture when used with the new "V6" models .... some folk might not even detect it, but, it is our intention to upgrade properly anyway. This has been slowed down through organising this "New Look" website and other projects just released
Again .... every V5 texture I've so far tested on new "V6" models seems to fit fine and without any issues other than those indicated above.
