That paint brings me back good memories, as I flew in one of those on Christmas 1994 to Durban. How's it going on this one!! looking forward to it.

Hi Ricardo,
I put this request in another post somewhere. Well done. That is looking really good. I also like the older repaints. Particularly the 70s version with the shiny bottom and the black nose tip.

I lived in East London and got to go on a couple of them around South Africa. Nothing is cooler than looking out the window just after touch down and seeing the huge clam shells of the thrust reverser open. The Orange tail is very striking and the big Springbok is very cool.

Look forward to seeing this one. Hope you do some of the others.
Well done

Cheers
Patrick

I've flown in and out of FAEL numerous times. Also had a few aborts there. Pilots not firewalling the thing. 737's and MD80's.

I bet the reversers were working over time. I was a passenger in an A320 landing there. It certainly was not a delicate landing, but very functional. Certainly good fun. Cheers Patrick

I haven't touched it since then, hope I can find some time to finish it during the next weekend as university exams are getting in its way. Fortunately this paint is only hanging by details.
