I'm working on another metal paint for the Leonardo MD....I know EAL sadly went under before she could start flying the MD, but she had the long DC's (-50s I believe) that are close enough if you're a fan of the airline.  Personally it is one of my all time favorites and I'm trying to do her justice in our simming world. 😊

Still a work in progress (obviously), but I just got done laying on the initial alpha layer to bring the shine out on her, and these pics just took my breath away when I panned around her in the sim and the morning sun hit her juuuuuuuuuuuuust right. 🙂

I'll post a release announcement when I get her done and uploaded.

 

Hmmmm....been too long since I've posted here but I thought the images used to also preserve the link to the original photo.   Click these links to see the pics in their original size and not destroyed by the filtered compression here:

Thanks HL!

We've probably flown on her once or twice long ago in an era far far past that was without a doubt a better time for airline passengers.😪  Flying today is the biggest hassle and if it weren't for the thrill of the takeoff and seeing the ground rush away from you, and the panoramic views at 35,000 feet, I wouldn't even bother flying anymore.

With AA quickly moving the remaining MDs out of her fleet, sadly it won't be long until the last of the metal passenger planes are no more.

Very Nice,Brings back memories,
