I don't mind doing one last hurrah for the DWAI models, as I will have all my source material in order when the HJG models show up. I hope they don't stop at the L1011s, their entire catalogue could be utilized. However, not knocking on anybody, some of the paints don't match at all to the same fleets with other models, and that will have to be addressed. Also, they need to be converted to P3Dv4 at least, it won't do to keep spinning the wheels in the FS9 world, just my honest opinion as ever.
Also, they currently restrict painting to their site only upon approval of the paint, so that might slow us down a bit. However, I have seen indications on their forum that that may change. For the record, I have one paint for an HJG model, 'way back, an LAA Caravelle.

The 'Pleasant Hawaiian Holidays' aircraft still needs a little work. The Holidays titles are photo-real, and the best I could do, but I will try to do a little better on them, plus it needs the American flag. This package is projected to 14 variants, to include all of the leased-out aircraft, so I may break it down to two parts, like I did for the WOA MD-11s.

Im kinda hoping the HJG AI L1011 is released with the same quality as FAIB, ie wing flex, lights, etc It won't be, and it may be years out, they're in no rush nor should they be. But please, just keep these posts to those directly related to Mike's paints. This thread is supposed to be 95% his previews\info and 5% questions and gratitude. I only made that comment because I was surprised to see DWAI L-1011s being brought to life and I wanted to thank Mikey for doing that, it was not supposed to start a discussion. Feel free to discuss the HJG models or anything else by starting a relevant thread. As for all the requests, don't forget there is an entire forum section dedicated to repaint requests. You seem to have a lot, so just start a thread and post them there please rather than filling up this repaint thread. The forum section you're looking for is here.

Here we go.... First complete package for ATA, the L-1011s. There are 5 leased-out aircraft, the ones in the upper left corner of the group (RKA, EIN x2, MSR, DAH), and 15 fleet aircraft with a multitude of hybrids, palm trees, metal bellies, missing flags, Delta serials, 2 variants of the Hawaiian Holidays, and of course, 'Big Ed'. The LTU and TWA hybrids went quick since I have done past paints for those aircraft with their parent airline. I did find better photoreal 'Hawaiian Holidays' titles as well. Hope this serves the desire for fleet diversity, lol. :{)

Small news flash, two of my recently uploaded file packages won't extract properly. They are the RLK Saab 340 and NZE EMB 110. The issue is on my end, but I have never encountered this before, and AVSIM's ruthless QA is usually good about catching such things. I am going to have the dysfunctional files pulled from AVSIM today, and re-package the two files from scratch and re-upload this weekend. Can't explain it, but my apologies for the inconvenience.

Palm Tree, very easy. 25th Anniversary, a whole 'nuther story, possibly the hardest photo-real paint I've ever done, but I think it was worth it. I cobbled together about five photos into a workable side shot, and started cutting away. It took about 3 days to get it done. The hard work is done, the 757 25th Anniversary should be much easier. :{)

ATA 721s with an AMC lease in the mix, and I added two more serials to the 722 project, both in Palm Tree livery (striped #1-2 engines, one dirty). 757s on deck for the weekend, and then the 4-holers. :{)

Cool! If you plan on doing the leases, there was also this neat bird:

Basic 752 set. The 25th Anniversary paint utilizes the photo-real ribbon I did for the 722, not quite the same as the real 752, but close enough to be in the spirit of the exercise. The 2002 scheme is a place-holder, made from a really fuzzy image I found, but I think I can hand-draw this one from scratch, so it will be updated, plus a winglets variant as well. Trying to retire another AIA model paint, lol. :{)
