I agree .... I'd like to see "BOTH" represented here .... that's DENVER - PORTS OF CALL, as well as SKYWORD (with S2HK fanjet engines) .... but .... it's entirely up to our textructors of course. There's also another variation of DENVER - PORTS OF CALL livery for the CV990 which we really should consider too .... the earlier version with a natural metal bum ! We'll see what our textructors have got to say about these anyway ! Mark C AKL/NZ

Ports of Call had three paints on the 707-323Bs. One with the (DENVER((in red))- Ports of Call), One with the (SKYWORLD) letters, and the Last Paint had(PORTS OF CALL) IN BOLDER letter NO Denver on that one. The 707-123B's had only the first Paint job before they got sold. The second CV-990 paint (without the bare metal) didn't last long but sure did look good to me. Thanks for the consideration on the request. Looking forward to seeing whatever you come up with.

"767HGRPLT" .... something that might be of tremendous help to us is if you will kindly provide (post here) images, or URL links to images, showing the POC/SKYWORLD livery variations you mention .... just for the B707's only.
I think we're OK for imagery relating to the natural metal bummed CV990-A.
"IF" I remember correctly all of their B707's were Husk-Kitted too weren't they ?
I know "N705PC" most certainly was when I photographed her at NZAA around 1986/87/88.

That's interesting .... because I never knew POC ever used B707-120B.
OK .... looks like we've got both standard and S2HK B707-323B's there.
Judging from the images you've provided it looks like the early POC -323B liveries are standard P&W JT3D series fanjet engines .... whilst both the last POC, and the SKYWORLD variations of livery feature Stage 2 Hush Kitted P&W JT3D series fanjet engines.
Ben & The Team are perfectly competent though. They know what details to look for .... and will make a good job of these I'm sure.

This gets more interesting as we go .... because I didn't know SKYWORLD branding was ever applied to the B707-120B
The only problem with this particular repaint subject is the aircraft appears to be fitted with Stage 2 Hush kits (note the lengthened engine intake casings) .... and as yet we don't feature an S2HK B707-120B model.
We'll leave it up to Ben though !
Let him decide whether or not he wants to attack this subject using the best/most appropriate -120B model we currently have, with a view to converting this texture later .... should a S2HK -120B model suddenly become available to us.
