Saha B707-300C on HJG Model

[Ivan]

Anyone in for doing the ONLY airline with 707s still flying pax service...

Although it once was a tanker it uses a standard 707 fuselage. Needs special lightmap, as the rear window config is non-standard.

Enough pictures for refrence, No special reg requests, but putting EP-SHE back in the sky virually would be nice.

[Hai Perso Coyone?]

Surprised that Igorski hasn't replied to this...Would be
great addition though...

Oh and Saha isn't the only airline that flies 707 in pax service...Blue Nile Aviation and Sudan Airways (both located in Sudan) use 707's...I watched them take off from my house every now and then

Did I hear my name mentioned!?

Up to my neck in Sabres jsut now (all the RAF sqn's and G-SABR) but I'll see what I can do after that.

Looking good already

Anyone knows if it has traces of it's refueller pods on the bottom of the wings? As IAF 5-8311 it had drogue pods on both wings.

Type info: Boeing 707-3J9C, has a cargo door on the left side and overall non-standard door configuration. Originally came with refuelling pods and a refueller boom.

You'll need a model that has a cargo door at least...
If you look at the photos it has the attachment point of the boom still in place.

[igorski]

Yes the boom attachment is still in place, but the boom is not. I cant add that to this aircraft in any case.

I havnt a clue if that model has the working cargo door, but I think its on the textures anyway.

EP-SHE does not have the pods on the wings in photos I've seen.

But HAD them as Air Force Serial 5-8xxx. Only thing is that you need to find the photo on another site (not on airliners)
There are some strange black marks under the wings of you look closely

[igorski]

Just found a pretty decent picture of the underside of SHE and I cant see any black markings on the undeside of the wings.

[Ivan]

Any progress or are the HJG freaks making a one-off model (KC-137 whitout the boom) for the paint

[igorski]

its coming allong! No custom model, but they are picky about the actual textures!!
