Thanks!  I actually painted this one a while back.  Back then I determined the best solution of the dilemma that PMDG did not create an actual 737 combi model was to use the pax model and paint the main cargo door on.  This was the best solution IMO because painted on windows generally don't look that good.  The down side of course is that you would not have a working cargo door.

Well...I re-thought my solution and grabbed a few samples of the windows on the pax model in the sim and applied them to the freighter model...and it turned out better than I thought. 🙂

 

Now if I can only convince PMDG to add the airstair option to the freighter, which the real C-40 has. 😞

Great shots of a lovely looking paint.

Very nice adaptation of the (available) 737 model...into the C-40 look-alike, Steve. Looks good against this fearsome backdrop...

And I know this livery is closer to your heart...🙂 ...

Thanks @Phantom88, @andy1252

@P_7878, yeah its my go to 737 when I'm flying a route that certain airlines I want to fly only offer A3x service to.  And if I just don't feel like carrying unruly civilian pax, LOL.  At least with the C-40, you're carrying either all cargo or cargo and disciplined military folks. 🙂 

Plus I just like the looks of the livery...not to mention my past Naval experience. 😉    Sadly, the Navy took off all the identifying marks that made her look cool...and the current C-40s only have the stripes and the number on the tail...pretty boring, so I fly the version that flew when the world was not so crazy and we could fly our colors without fear of some whacko taking it out with an RPG. 😠
