Thanks Guys!

Glenn - it's a recolor of Murph's 737........with some extra special detailing and mods to make it build easier (IMO)

There will be others forthcoming.........y'all want hints or just want to be surprised?

Very nice repaint. Alaska Airlines repaint was on my "to do" list. I'm glad to see you doing it, and doing it so well. Now if someone could do the Hooters Air version, I can concentrate on Murph's E-Jet. Can you expand a little on your modifications to make it an easier build?

I'm still hoping someone can find a 720 to recolour as The Starship (-=

Ok I need a little help on the Lufthansa recolor............ yes Glenn got it right.

I've looked very hard to find a good picture of how the bottom gray color used on the aircraft if finished off. It makes a sharp drop down the side of the fuselage to the rear of the nose landing gear doors, but I don't know or can't find out, if it is squared off at the rear of the doors or goes on over the doors up on the bottom of the nose of the aircraft.

I've seen die-cast models with it both ways and we all know how well most die-cast models replicate the real thing. So I'm looking for a picture of the real thing to verify exactly how the color is done or terminated.

If anyone has an idea or a good picture showing how this is on the aircraft I would appreciate the help............. Thanks.
