Wow John, great to see you back on the forums, keep active :D

I remember the last time you were active on these forums when there was a kid pretending that was a pilot with about 55,000+ hours and you found him haha.

Great, so happy :D

How can you tell from only 2 shots, both from the same side? Notice the engines for a start?

Cool I'm waiting for some "more done" W.I.P shots ^^
good luck !!

if it's worth doing.. then yes.. it's worth doing it as close to the real aircraft livery as possible.

if you want fictitious stuff.. well there's a painter dime a dozen who can go wild with a paint kit and call it Malaysian airlines

ok ^^ i also think it should be close to reality ...
but i could also do an Air Berlin livery (if i have time)
malaysian or british don't look so good...so i don't need them as much as Qantas or AF

Seriously, this is looking amazing compared to some other stuff that's around and that claims to be high quality payware stuff. Except for a couple of details she looks done to me. Sorry if you have a problem with that and what's wrong with a question about what still has to be done?

i think he said that because everyone said they love it, yet there are some major things that the painter hasnt done yet like he has already said.

Like the engines. They are missing the entire logo but nobody is noticing that. I didnt notice it until it was brought up, though i had a feeling something was missing overall, but couldnt tell what.

not if they get their way. They have been talking about cancelling the orders for a while now since their planes have been delayed over 4 years. They are getting some serious money from it though, so i doubt they will cancel until they get the last penny possible from them.

I normally don't pay all that much attention to Qantas paints, but I could've sworn there's a kangaroo on the engines.

Though this is looking superb. I can't wait to fly this across Australia.
