Pete, she looks fantastic, and I'm not trying to knock your paint, but if you are doing N111MD, she should have the left side cargo door, as she was built for FEDEX. If I'm wrong please correct me.image at http://md-eleven.net/MD11-History-DevelopementCheers, Gary

Sorry, not seeing the FedEx reference. First delivered airframe went to Finnair. Also, from the images on the web site I don't see the main deck cargo door. Maybe my old eyes just ain't seeing it?

first and second prototypes were for fedex (N111MD and N211MD) , and had the left cargo door aleady installed, but stayed with MDD for testing until Jan 1991. The first MD-11 delivered to a customer was the 9th aircraft built and went to Finnair. In the link I sent you earlier, you can barely see the rain rail above the cargo door in the picture of N111MD crossing the highway at long beach. You can also see the gap in the pax windows accomodating the door frame.Hope this helps,here's a lightly clooser shot of the same pic.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/194726.jpgGary
