[WIP/REL] SCAG Boeing 727-200 - Prop Pack Released

[krbe]

What about a Delta 727?

[RG59061]

I love PSA!

I would also ask for PanAm, Piedmont, and also PeoplExpress. They just had a very unique and special livery.

I would also ask for American Airlines in the exposed Aluminum body and maybe even Alaska Airlines.

Those would be my big ones to join your current livery line-up.

Would you also consider making some private liveries...e.g. Private Jets in the BBJ guise? The 727 always made the best looking private jet.

Stay Fab!

Everyones requests have been added to the list and I'll get to them when I have time.

Delta ²k5: I probably will make a model with extended airstairs.

joelyboy911: I probably won't be making an HD version of the 727. I exported one in HD to see how it looked but it didn't look very good in zoom 5 and IMO it's not worth it if zoom 5 doesn't look good. I might make a few modern liveries that weren't on the 727 in real life after I'm done with the real life liveries.

RG59061: Alright, they've been added to the list. I'm not sure how the American Airlines livery will turn out though, that aluminum shine might be hard to replicate. Yes, once I finish the airline liveries I'll do some 727 BBJs.

Tonight I just finished 2 more liveries, FedEx and United Airlines 90's livery:

Cool. I'll make the ones I listed, and you can use whichever ones you like - I will in no way be offended or upset if you cut some. As for HD its your call really - I did ATRs as both, and it means twice as much of the tedious work (why the lots arent released already) - might re-evaluate for this time around.

I'm loving the FedEx, but IMO you might need (as much of a nuisance as it is) to check that the colours match AC teams FedEx planes, the fact of the single colour makes slight variations from plane to plane can stand out heaps. I think it needs a tiny bit more red, and less saturation.

Also, do you have a texture set already made I could look at for reference making mine? I'm not clear on where the outlines of the parts are.

That's great and how about one with blended winglets? Some privat 727-200 and the planes of AmeriJet (Zero-G) are flying around with those winglets. I think it's looking really sexy

btw. here are some another request:

Sorry for asking so "many" questions

That's weird, I found when I tested an HD render of the 777 it looked very nice on zoom 6, as well as zoom 5 (didn't look bad on zoom 5 at all imo).  I might also create an SD version of the 777 however, though I don't really see any benefits or downsides with creating both versoins.  Anyways, good luck and we'll be fine whatever rendering method you choose.  Also, looking really good!  Any chance of a classic Pan-Am livery coming soon?

[RustyXL]

joelyboy911: I tweaked the colors on the FedEx a little and now it's pretty close to the AC team's colors. It matches the real life color better too.

Delta ²k5: I'm definately going to make one with winglets. I'll start working on the private 727s after I'm done with the airline liveries.

pilotdaryl: Well some models do look good in HD in zoom 5, but mine just looks ok in zoom 5. I might still make an HD version though, I'll see. Yeah, but I'm not sure how soon.

Here's how the updated FedEx livery looks:


And here's the newest livery, Air France's new colors:

[joelyboy911]

Both very nice - very nice indeed.

[RG59061]

My yes...very very nice indeed.

I am eagerly awaiting this release...and can't wait to see more.

Keep up the great work Rusty, this is going to compliment the AC Team Aircraft very nicely!

lol, Air France on a 727! Don't wanna be pushy but I'd love to see Southwest Airlines on the 727. SWA only uses 737's now but back in the late '80's and early '90's SWA had a fleet of 727's and I want to see that again. Thanks and BTW those modles look unbelievable and I don't know how you make such accurate models.

[Une_ame]

What's your pb with Air France ? I understand that, since you live in the USA (Philly ??), you have more memories with Southwest than with Air France but the truth is, some people live outside your borders and have memories with this very nice liner too....

Plus, Air France is now the largest airline company in the world in terms of total operating revenues, and also the largest in the world in terms of passenger-kilometres (Google "Air France/KLM").


BTW, TY Rusty XL for this awesome livery . Hope you'll find time to make the old one too .

[RG59061]

Tre magnifique!

I love the Air France livery...very very nice! Clean, elegant, simple...just perfect! FedEx is looking even better than before.

I'm getting anxious and can't wait to see what else you have put together!

This is my most eagerly awaited airliner pack to date!

I'm also with Une_ame, I'd love to see the older, retro 60s Air France livery on the 727...if that is not too much to ask for later.

Keep up the great work!
RG

[RustyXL]

Thanks for all the positive comments everyone.

Philadelphia: I was considering making a Southwest Airlines livery so now I'll definately make it.

Une_ame & RG59061: I will be making a livery in Air France's old colors but I'm not not sure when.

Here are the latest liveries, Air Canada:


and Zero-G:


The Zero-G livery will have winglets once I make the winglet models.

[Une_ame]

Both of them are 

[RG59061]

Okay...I'm hooked! The Zero-G livery looks incredible! Even the retro Air Canada is awesome!

Thanks as well for making the Retro Air France livery...be a nice addition to my airports...as a museum piece in the US. Will these have air stairs lotted with them on the Port Door? Or the rear air-stairs extended?

I'm curious.

Thank you again Rusty for this fantastic kit! I can not wait for in game shots...and to have this pack when it is finished!

[[Delta ²k5]]

Will these have air stairs lotted with them on the Port Door? Or the rear air-stairs extended?

Well, let me answer, because I've asked something like this before:

Delta ²k5: I probably will make a model with extended airstairs.

As you see, he will PROBABLY make one

[KoV Liberty]

Okay...I'm hooked! The Zero-G livery looks incredible! Even the retro Air Canada is awesome!

All I can say is wow.... But I will say something else too... What are winglets?

[RG59061]

If you look at say a Boeing 747-400 or any of the new 737s and see the small, vertical fins that are attached to the end of each wing, those are called Winglets. They help increase efficiency of the wing itself. I'll include a picture here of Boeing's 737-700 to illustrate.

The 727 Advanced had somewhat smaller winglets on the ends of its wings...but the idea is still the same.

Hope that clears it up. Happy to answer any other questions if anyone has more.

RG

[KoV Liberty]

Oh! Thats what they are! I've flown on planes that have had those but some haven't.

[cameron1991]

Looks great, I can't wait to see more progress!
