Thanks guys!

I know the team is working hard on her....my participation pales in comparison as I'm mainly a painter, and don't know the MD well enough to be a tech advisor.  I obviously can't say much more, but I hope the pics help bide the time until...well...you know. 🙂

Seen this view in real life departing south at KDFW in the early morning , sadly no more. 😞

State highway 183 and Belt Line road is the cloverleaf shown below for those familiar with the area. 🙂

Just lovely!

One of my favorite Steve Dra liveries, along with the 757 repaint he did.

 

Best,

Thanks @skully....I long for the day I'd get to paint your avatar aircraft/livery in MSFS.   Maybe one day.   Living in the land of American Airlines....they fly by my house everyday at a few thousand feet, in their beautifully painted planes. 🤔 

Long live BARE METAL!

Great shots!!! The reflections in that wing view is sublime. You’re doing a great job of gettinf the reflections and texture of the metal to mimic real life.

FAA: ATP-ME, 737 CA, enough time in the 757/767 to be dangerous 🤠

Nice work!

All my FSX/P3D repaints are here on Avsim, for my MSFS repaints, go to FS.2

That's actually what I had in mind!  Not enough caffeine or "brain-finger dissociative disorder"

Best.

I know that disorder well! 🤪

I'd be happy to paint a bare metal 757 in MSFS if only we had one. 😉

Not fond of any P3D 757s or I'd consider painting the only one with PBR

Steve (and Brian):

Really like these images above.... have seen them before...but they never lose the shine...🙂...

(I still sometimes think about and re-visit the (original) 747 BCF work Brian and you did...there were a couple of good metal ones there too...especially I recall the CATHAY PACIFIC CARGO....🙂...)...
