...it's Auric Goldfinger's JetStar, as seen in the James Bond classic 'Goldfinger' (1964):
....apparently nobody has painted this since the days of FS98, and I've longed for one ever since moving to FS2004, so I finally did it myself!
It's not perfect, but I did do several pauses with my DVD player to get things lined up as best as possible.
I plan to upload it to flightsim.com in the near future, but I'm not sure when I'll have time to package it appropriately.
During my scouring of the internet for photos and information, I managed to learn that this very aircraft was a Lockheed demonstrator, and it was returning from a sales tour of the Middle East and Europe in April 1964 when it stopped in at Northolt for two days for its appearance in Goldfinger.
The only thing they did for the movie was to add the 'Auric Enterprises, Inc.' titles on the nose. Otherwise this colour scheme is Lockheed's.
I figured somebody else out there who flies the HJG JetStar might be interested in this one.
Regards,
Jim
