As few 707 repaints

I've had a pretty naff start to the New Year so far but now I'm back on line and I have internet at my new location, I thought I'd upload a few pics from some of my latest 707 repaints.  Just got to get them through our QC department and they'll be ready for distribution.

British Caledonian







USAF C-137B Stratolifter







I'll keep you informed with events.

Dave

David,
Re British Caledonian I prefer the classic paint it flew with for most of the years (I flew many times in BC in DC-10)

You can see in the pic the letters font are smaller and stylish classic.

In the 80s they changed the font to larger letters but I think your paint is too large. In your paint the letter "B" goes up doubles the size of the door, when in fact it was just a bit higher than the door. The fonts being too large or different is the most difficult part in painting planes I guess..specially if they curve in the fuselage.

My wish would be for a classic Aerolineas Argentinas,

or the new

take care.

Thanks Tony for the remarks.  You're in luck.  I already have this repaint on my own personal "To Do" list.

  Thanks Kaptain for the tips but us at McPhat have a dedicated Quality Control process and He's blooming good.  I understand where you are coming from on the reference image you posted but if you take a look at pictures of the aircraft I have used for reference (G-AYEX) you will see that it has a different font.

Thanks Jacob, you're kicking out some great work too.
