Hi "alex94",
I think this requested bird won't be painted, because there's no proper 3d-model for the HJG-707 (Mark or the other HJG-707 experts please correct me if I'm wrong).
But the paint-scheme looks nice on the 707.

It could/can be done .... in that HJG "DOES" have the "correct" 3D model version (the B707-320B "HK3" and B707-320C "HK3" models with the long nacelle JT8D engines) in order to enable it to be represented, but, the issue is that it first has to "appeal" to someone with the ability to do it .... in order for it to be represdented within the HJG B707 invenory.

I thought that the HK3-707s are still using their JT3D but with Stage 3-hushkits fitted in a longer engine nacelle. Also N707HE is using the JT8D-219 (similar engine-type as the one of the MD-8x family) and the nacelle-shape of the JT8D looks different to me than the nacelle-shape of the offered HJG 707s with the long HK3-nacelles. Or did I misunderstood something about the 707, JT3D and JT8D?  Klaus |

I believe, you're thinking, of those aircraft which had their JT3D engines hushkitted with either Comtran International Inc modification developed Q-707 nacelle/Hush-Kits during the early 1990's .... featuring the extended/lengthened engine intake nacelle and slightly extended exhaust tail pipe such as this (suffixed within the HJG system as an "S2HK" B707 models) ....  .... and which promoted Stage 2 compliance.... AND/OR .... the mid 1990's Stage 3 compliant modification developed by Quiet Skies Inc in conjunction with Burbank Aeronautical Corporation and which is a different modification again. However .... The subject of this particular requst "appears" to be a P&W JT8D-219 re-engined aircraft and which was another Stage 3 compliance project undertaken by the Seven Q Seven Group (comprising of EADS-Dornier, Goodrich Aerospace, Nordham Group, Omega Air, and Pratt & Whitney) .... and which resulted in the completelty different/longer engine nacelle (similar to that of the DC8-62/83 and MD80) being fitted to some civil B707's such as this one (suffixed within the HJG system as an "HK3" B707 models) ....  .... as well as a number of USAF operated aircraft too.

Not by HJG .... because we've never presented anything new in regard to the B707 since the cargo door animated B707-120B(F), B707-320(F), and B720-B(F) 3D models were added to the HJG inventory around 2006/7 The "HK3" B707-320B/C models .... as modelled by Gary CARLSON .... and currently hosted here at HJG .... "ARE/DO" represent the JT8D variant .... and are "THE BEST" HJG could/can achieve .... at this time/for the forseable future. In any case .... no further modifications to the HJG B707 (or B367-80 for that matter) inventory are planned .... let alone possible .... for the time being at least .... SORRY  Mark C AKL/NZ |

Hi Mark,
thanks for pointing out that the HK3-707s have JT8D-engines. As I wrote earlier, I thought that they still used the JT3D ones but with hush-kits. Again I have learned something new about the HJG-birds and their real-World counterparts.
