B707

[commander31]

Would be nice to have non-US military B707s like RAAF, SAAF. Also, I think that the title "American Airlines" on the AA B707s shouldn't have a wide spacing between the words as it is too wide.

A number of .... though not all of .... these military aircraft can't be yet be done for unavailability yet of the correct model with underwing probes.

It is being looked at though .... so .... one day in the future .... maybe !

Thanx, now for the AA B707 and B720, perhaps you could reduce the gap between the words.

Could you please back up your request by some actual photos showing the "error"?

"COMMANDER31" .... according to several AA pictorial references I have before me right at this moment and in order to reply to your query. The spacing between the titles (particularly on the pre 1975 liveries) is acceptable and correct.

I'm not by any means implying that you're incorrect because, in the light of our own private research, we've learned that it wasn't at all uncommon to find more than just 1 form of titles/font/spacing (whatever you want to call it) employed by many carriers .... and this "may" (I'm not saying it was) even have applied to AA.

All I'm saying above is .... our repaints are "reasonably accurate according to the very best of the photographic references we have at our disposal". Certainly according to the realworld period imagery I have beside me at this very moment for the purpose of making these comments.

There won't be any further edits to any of these textures !

I say it one more time ....

our repaints are "reasonably accurate according to the very best of the photographic references we have at our disposal". Certainly according to the realworld period imagery I have beside me at this very moment

.... i.e. the original imagery upon which "OUR" repaints were based !

Again .... there won't be any further edits to any of these textures !

Ok. Btw, why on the B707 AA, why is there a white patch on the plane? simviation.com/hjg/aircraft/boeing/b707-120_v5/american_airlines_707-123_n7517a_1959.jpg

[aerofoto - HJG Admin]

I think you mean "GREY" don't you .... if you're referring to that patch on the lower forward fuselage

"IF" that's what you're referring to .... then I believe it has something to do with toilet access for servicing equipment whilst the aircraft is on the ground between flights.

On a lot of aircraft .... though not all .... this access appeared painted grey.

I can vouch for that little gray panel....although on the USAF E-3 its in the aft...no toilets up front. I say I can vouch for it, primarily because when the airport or base you fly into does not have fleet services....lucky newbies get the honor of accessing that panel. I'll tell you, beware...because the dump valve can sometimes stick...and that makes for an awful mess when you disconnect from the dump trolly....much to the delight of some crew chiefs I might add. Gray is good....its when there is a hint of blue one should find another to open that said panel.
