I'm wondering if anyone can do up a DC8-63F in ABX Air's (formerly Airborne Express) new DHL colors. Tail number for reference is N814AX or N819AX. Thank you in advance.

Just added a new preliminary image if the DHL/ABX DC8-63F .... with engines and pylons now textured correctly.
And I've also added preliminary images of 2 other "surprise DC8-63F's I'm trying to work up.
Once again these just require new registration now as well as some attention to 1 or 2 other minor deytails and they'll be ready to go.

What can I say... looking good... can't wait until it's finished so I can FINALLY complete my ABX fleet. I'm not sure if you could make it out on any of the photos I linked you to, but there is a little rectangle beneath the cockpit windows on either side that reads Operated by ABX Air.It's just a small detail, but if you could pull it off.... I've been trying to find a picture of what I'm talking about, but I can't seem to find it. Oh well.
Many thanks

I can see some vague suggestion of a decal there .... but .... it's impossible to gauge the extent of any associasted font. Would really need a scan of the actual detail in order to be able to represent it credibly.

"MANY THANKS" for your efforts there, but, Nick BOTAMER came to my rescue with a good scan of the actual decal .... which I've already sent to the person finishing these DC8 repaints.
I'm hoping it might make the next website update .... all going well.

I started working on DHL/ABX AI, BAX Global, & Air Canada Cargo Express DC8-63F's around July .... then project then whilst I was ovseas for 2 months and continued sitting/waiting since. You may be pleased to know a couple of days ago I started reorganising these same 3 files again .... which are in fact my final 3 DC8's for this year .... as "hinted" within my "NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS" page posting entitled "MORE NEW B707's & DC8's COMMING SOON".
