Hi again,

Here are some shots of the KLM 737-800 (FFX) in the new "photo-real" paint scheme. In my opinion, the painter is not too far off the mark. This thing is absolutely gorgeous, but you should be the judge of that. I hope you enjoy and comments are always encouraged!!

Thanks
Eric

Liar liar!  You're landing in newark, new jersey just 10 miles or so from my house in Staten Island.   ;D

Just kidding, close enough to NYC as it is.  Where'd you get the scenery??  and..beautiful shots!

The scenery is just default MS and your right it is Newark! NYC just sorta meant the area!

Thanks for the comments.

Thanks for all the great comments,

I can't recall exactly where I got this plane. I know it was hard to find though. I had seen a previous post of it, I think it was by Fly2e, but I'm not certain. Anyway I knew I needed to have it but no one ever said where they got it. I'm pretty sure I ended up doing a search for the name 'Erick Cantu' over at Avsim. I wish I could be more specific, but I just can't remember.

If this helps, here are the specifics. FFX/SGA 737-800 "photo real" KLM. Model by Erick Cantu of SGair. And it was either found at Avsim, Flightsim, or here.

Hope that helps,
Eric
