If they haven't already, Delta will be retiring thier MD-11s soon.   So I thought I'd fly this one around a bit. Cry Cry

I love those new water fx!

The Business end of this MD-11

Destined for a sad retired fate...   Cry Cry Cry

This is the old CSI model, I am hoping  (*Cough* "Oh Painters..!"  *Cough* Smiley)  for a repaint of the fantastic new IFDG MD-11.  I guess this is a farewell to the old model too...

Comments Welcome, hope you enjoyed them Cheesy Cheesy

Great pics, but the paintjob leaves a lot to be desired. I'm sure someone will do one soon Grin Grin Grin

Good shots you made, Boeingman!

And the watertextures ARE those of Bill Lyons, from what I can see.

Thanks  for the compliments and replies!  The paintjob does need help, but it's what I've got.  I am confident there will be an I(FDG repaint soon because it is so new and there are so many great painters!

& yes, they are the bill lyons textures that have been geting some talk around here.  My though on them is that they look dood from a distance, but sometimes they do really wierd things when you look straight down on them.  Maybe I'll post a shot on that.  They are a great imporvement over the ones from M$.
