I am just letting every owner of the 737 NG that I am going to soon release a new airline paint. Hapag-Lloyd. Don't ask me how to pronounce that.... anyway I thought it was a pretty paint job so I did my Real First aircaft paint job. I will post some pics of the real one and the one I have done. I need to tweak some thngs here and ther but it all should be done sometime within the next two weeks. Also with this, for all of you VC pilots.. I have also repainted the inside acording to photos taken from a real 737 Hapag-Lloyd cockpit. Like I said look for posts of the paint job soon. And PLEASE remember this is my first attempt, so it more then likley will not be perfect...

David,FYI, there is a Hapag-Lloyd available from the PMDG download page done by our own, Bob Jones. You are welcome to paint another Hapag-Lloyd, I just wanted to alert you the version currently available and maybe use another reg number.

ok cool sounds good. I wanted to do that livery cause it looked simple.... I didn't want to try something over my head!I shall go look at it and then repost.

Pete,as far as I can see you got a 'Hapag Lloyd Express' for download only.The 'non-Express' paint scheme of 'Hapag Lloyd' looks completely different.Take a look at this shot for example:http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=4656...atic=yes&size=L( hope this link to airliners.net isn't screwed up :-) )I would be quite happy to see the 'Hapag Lloyd' scheme !

I forgot to mention that it was a 737-800 but until that comes out it is going to be a 700.... The only thing I would like to know is this, I have looked at many 700 and 800 and as far as the appearance of the aircraft I can not tell a differance, so I guess that means the inside and the flight control is differant.

David,actually the 'inside' should be quite identical.The 800 is just a little longer then the 700.Try counting the windows - there should be a difference :-)Wish you all the best with the Hapag-Lloyd. Can't wait to fly it - I love the blue scheme.

Oh,For Saturday Night Live Fans, from back in the day,"Oh then, Never mind"

Ok As promised here are the screen shots. I am just about finished.I didn't know painting a plane could be so much fun. I have tried my hand at Terrain mesh... Gave me a head ache.... Painting on the other hand now thats fun!!!! Anyway to the shots...__________

Hi David,nice paint, looks cool on the 700...just two things tho, can you tone down the alpha shine, also you seem to be missing the fuselage seams/cargo door outlines.Regards,Bob [email protected]http://www.solentairvirtual.co.uk/images/santa_1.gif

I am planing to add the cargo door outlines as one of the last moment things, as for the fuselage seams I wasn't planing on adding them as even though they are probly ther in all the photos I have seen, you can not see the fuesalage seams. Also It dosn't look verry good on this paint job. *****see the links below*******http://www.planepictures.net/netshow.cgi?157244http://www.planepictures.net/netshow.cgi?157835Here is the actual plane I am doing. I am planning on adding the other white window border also.http://www.planepictures.net/netshow.cgi?157835http://www.planepictures.net/netshow.cgi?140816
