First repaint

Postby martianfrogz » Fri Jun 04, 2004 11:54 pm

Hey folks,
I'm going to start repainting airplanes, and I want you're opinion on this (especially the Queen fans in here). For my first repaint, I decided to do a pure black 737 with the Queen crest on the tail, and the Bohemian Rhapsody picture of them. (You should know this) If not, go to Google Images, and type in Bohemian Rhapsody, or Queen. They'll be standing in a diamond sort of shape.  I chose black because it goes with the pictures that I put on it. Tell me what you think!

I'm sure it will look nice, but I'm not a big fan of jet black planes because in reality this is an almost impossible request.

Due to the pressure and temperature changes (not to mention the friction of the air passing over the plane) the aircraft changes considerably in size, and since black absorbs heat, and we know heat makes things expand, once you land you can't open the doors right away because the aircraft has swelled and blocked the door.

Just a little tidbit I heard once.  

But like I said, it's a game and I'm sure you'll like your paint, which is all that really matters. ;)
Great edit, Bob.


Google it.

That is true. White wouldn't look bad, either. With a black tail... hmmm, might just do that...
