Iraklis F.C. · 14 Jun 2013 at 16:00

indeed she is gorgeous.

I like the wing tips on the 350 but think the cockpit windows look a little out of place for some reason but I can't put my finger on why. Maybe it's the shape of them. Does have a nice overall shape however.

Still I'm happy it made it up and back down in one piece as there are 90 odd panels on the 350 that I had input into the manufacture of

maybe its the black paint around them that makes look odd against the white airframe.

Heres to hoping it will make it into our sims with an awesome package

Every time I check back in this thread the screens seem to get better. I haven't had the sim running in weeks now but must get back online soon. We have the G8 summit starting soon here and have been making frequent trips to BFS to catch anything different. Had a lovely Il76 in yesterday. Lovely bird!

I like it. Didn't realise it was painted on and don't really know why they painted it on but its the little things that make it stand out. Just like Abramovich's 767 'Bandit':
