Hi,
I know that there is no paint kit or blank template for the Douglas DC8. I had to remove the "original" paint in one of the liveries investing many hours to obtain a somewhat "raw white" DC85 and use it as the base for painting it in our VA livery.
In my VA we also fly the B463 of HJG and I painted it using the blank base package. The final look between both aicraft is dramatic and the flight statistics are also clear. A poll among our pilots reported that one of the reasons to fly the B463 instead of the DC85 is the best look of the first in front of the latter.
I would like to suggest to the HJG team to think about the possibility of make a gift to your users by means of a blank template for your DC8 as it will undoubtedly make this aircraft much more attractive to VAs.
Thanks in advance,
Lluís
