January 10, 201214 yr Good to see a forum setup for the Wilco stuff. Regarding the 737 classic series 300-500 would be great to see some repaint action for the new Evo model from Wilco. There are a bunch of extra liveries that come with the special Evo 737 release but there are plenty more options for anyone who's keen. In case you havent seen the planespotters site they have a good list of operators for each model following, should be some inspiration for everyone and seems much more extensive than the list on Wikipedia (as of Jan/2012)Here's the 300 list, they have links to the 400/500 series too...http://www.planespotters.net/Production_List/Boeing/737/737-300/operator.php Dean Stringer
January 12, 201214 yr Author Hey all. Thought I'd get the ball rolling with a repaint of the real-world Air New Zealand 737-300 ZK-NGD. You can find it here at avsim, search for "Air New Zealand wilco 737" or filename: wilcoevo733-airnewzealand.zip. Would welcome any feedback by PM if you try it out, the repaint kit is a little fiddly to deal with, will try a few other liveries and get the process sorted out.

January 13, 201214 yr I didn't know the paintkit was out already. Thanks for your work, I'll look that repaint of yours up instantly.

February 5, 201214 yr I looked at the repaint kit and pretty much gave of hope of working with it. It really sucks, or is it just me?!Would love to do a fe CP Air variants, but I don't know why the repaint kits has to be so foreign to what I was used to :(Bruce Bruce Wood
February 5, 201214 yr Author Yeah I have no idea why they shipped the kit as four seperate fuselage sections, that is a royal pain in the behind.I think I'll stich them together into one long one and just do the resize-canvas-and-save trick at export time for each of the four files. Dean Stringer
February 7, 201214 yr Any chance of the British Airways Landor Livery for the 734?Aaron G. PMDG Boeing 737NGX Captain
February 10, 201214 yr I would so love to see Canadian North's 737-300 done on the Wilco evohttp://www.flickr.com/photos/wee_in_yyc/5373600005/ Founder/CEO Canadian Arctic Virtual http://www.canadianarcticvirtual.net/

February 18, 201214 yr deeknow, is your NZ paint compatible with the slightly changed models of 1.1 and 1.2? I haven't tried yet, but I ran it with 1.0. Nice work!

April 3, 201214 yr I`ve had a quick look at this kit. Cant get my head around it, and I have repainted a lot of aircraft over the years.
April 3, 201214 yr Same here, i almost fainted when i looked at it. What a royal pain in the rear. I'll try to paint one or two when i get some time, i'd love to see a TAP Air Portugal -300 and an S7 Airlines -500. What really annoys me is that the plane has an incredibly clean look, it could use some weathering, and i'm really not good at doing that EDIT: Ahhhh, if i only had the guts to do this one...
