Hi everyone

Here is a list of rather oddball subjects, and hoping that you'll just tell me to get on with them myself! They will mainly be for my personal pleasure:

1) MK Airlines DC-8-55 and 62 - the earlier colour schemes with stripes.
2) Affretair DC-8-55 and 71 (actually I couldn't help myself and I've basically done the 71 already)
3) CargOman DC-8-55, operated by Affretair in the late 70's and early 80's
4) TR-LVK- Plain DC-8 with no titles, also operated by Affretair in the 70's.
5) Air Rhodesia/ Air Zimbabwe Boeing 720. I've also done this one!

Thanks for all your great work!

PS, how do I post images?

All of these are indeed good "candidate" subject for consideration .... I agree .... BUT .... I can't promise anything.

"YES" .... we would need pictures !

how do I post images?

Just post .... "here" .... the image link URL data for each picture you want to show us.

Air Rhodesia/ Air Zimbabwe Boeing 720.

I've also done this one!

Are you the guy whom painted the HJG B720 in AIR RHODESIA livery about 4 years ago ?

"IF SO" .... then I'd like to have a chat with you, so, please send me a PM via this forum.

Ed .... need you to convert those links (for your textures) to image links .... rather than downloadable files like they're currently presented.

Besides that .... what you've got there so far (I have been able to view your links privately) looks "GREAT" so far !

Kindly refer to my 2nd PM.

Ok, thanks Mark, got it all sorted. Known issues with the paints so-far:

On the 720 the two sides of the nose don't quite match up, I'll sort that.

On the Affro 71 the logo is too far back on the right side, I'll get to that too.

Meantime 9G-MKF is next in the paintshop

Regards

Ed

Ok, here is the finished Affretair DC-8-71F. Sorry it took so long, after reviewing the pictures critically I realised I had gotten almost everything wrong, stripes were too thick, logos too big, window frames needed to be white, loads of little things, but I'm pretty happy now.
