So beautiful livery and airliner. Keep the updates coming.

Nice work so far on the 717! Those, along with the md-88-90s, are always flying in and out of the Asheville airport. One of my favorite airliners

I'm also looking forward to watching this develop. I bought Skyline's DC9 but haven't built it yet. I love the look of these aircraft, and this one is a great livery. Hope to see it completed some day.

I discovered that the markings on the vertical stabilizer did not line up with the markings on the tail cone. I will be sharing version 2 of the tail shortly. Meanwhile, the tail cone still has all kinds of alignment problems as you can see in the attached photos. It is going to be a while before I figure out how to get the color patterns on the unfolded parts to align correctly on the assembled tail cone. On the bright side, Pualani’s hair may appear to be too low, but the markings on the elevator housing is correct according to the photos that I used.

Herky's right. Take your time and enjoy the build. There's no rush to the finish. Pualani's hair looks fine btw.
