Another Retro Weekend

[sierraair]

Another weekend, another batch of retro paints. These are staying with the Northwest/757 theme.

Working backwards:

Northwest Boeing 757-200 with RR engines. Just this one made it into full Northwest colors before being sold off to America West.


Northwest Boeing 757-200 in basic Republic colors.


Republic Airlines Boeing 757-200 in basic Northwest colors. As the merger became finalized, Republic took delivery of their final 757s in Northwest colors.

It's amazing how deciding to paint one aircraft can evolve into painting four. I started with the Northwest Orient 757-200, and figured why not paint it with RR engines. After that, it seemed appropriate to do the one with Republic titles. The Northwest/Republic hybrid seemed like the most logical next step, and since I've gotten that far, why not just add Republic titles. Oh these things I get myself into....

Stay tuned too....Another heavy is about ready to leave the hanger.

I've never smoked crack (though some would probably dispute that), I understand just one hit isn't enough. Same with Lay's Potato Chips - which I do know about, and once had the body to prove it - just one's not enough. I find myself doing the same thing - especially now with AFCADs - Raul's TWA '75 submission has me resisting the urge to do more AFCADs until after I get all the site files reloaded.
