The N88ZL-Boeing is a 707-320B, but the Iranian 707 is a 707-320C. THe Iranian looks like it was a tanker-conversion of a civil 707 (you can see the rests of the tanker-boom at the rear bottom of the fuselage).

Since I'm not a painter, I do not know if your request will be attractive enough to be painted. All the painters here at HJG are painting only if a request attracts them.
Perhaps Mark or the other 'bosses' from HJG can explain it better to you, since English isn't my mother language.

Here's the "GUTS OF IT" ....
It could be done on the HJG B707-320C "HK3" model .... subject to it first appealing to any of the HJG painting team.
BUT .... here's the "CRUNCHER" ....
Any HJG repaint of this particular subject wouldn't be entirely authentic .... in strict definition and in accordance with this particular aircraft subjects "very unique feature" in the form of the remains of its aerial refueling probe/boom housing visibly located beneath the the aircraft's rear fuselage.
BUT THERE AGAIN .... there's probably only 1 or 2 aircraft in the entire world which conform to this particular description anyway (and both of them are Iranian .... as I recall) .... SO THEN .... if HJG did, actually, represent it, at all, then it would, really, be no more out of place than the current "ASW liveried HJG B720" subject which, for lack of an appropriate model, lacks all of its essential antennae/aerials, but, is otherwise quite authentic in all other respects.
"THIS ONE" is a borderline case .... up to the HJG painters to consider.

I did have a feeling that when i posted this request it may get rejected due to it having a refueling boom, but hopefully because this request isnt totally disallowed the painter or painters can get around to doing this.  thanks again mark for your insight to whats allowed and isnt. Alex |

What is .... and isn't allowed .... is not, really, up to me to determine, but, what you've requested most certainly isn't out of the realms of possibilities .... by virtue of what I've stated/defined above subject to it first appealing to someone with both the interest and ability to actually do it. Again it's up to the "PAINTERS" .... rather than the "COMENTATORS" Mark C AKL/NZ |

I mostly eye balled this from photographs but if there are any errors, just let me know!  * left side  * right side  * and departing... Still have to paint the engines... Another thing, are the titles 'Islamic Republic Of IRAN' on the right side ONLY?? Also, based on photographs, the tail colors are slightly different on left and right sides, so I made them that way. Cheers, Rafael |
