I haven't bought this yet but was looking over the PK getting ready to do a pre-purchase paint and realized that there the only 70 listed is the CF. You guys didn't include a PAX version of the 70?!

Well actually that is not all that is missing, we have no freighter for the early DC8's or the 61F and 62F. The poor 71 and 72 have not made any kind of showing at all in this package. I hope JF will make an addon that will add these missing aircraft, I just can't believe they missed out the 72 because that plane was a popular VIP aircraft and lets not forget the NASA bird. Just Flight will also be selling Cargo Hauler 2 in the near future so it makes sense to add the freighters.

That is horribly disappointing... I was going to paint a Delta 70 series.... I guess I could just paint the windows on the 73, still not the same tho.

I suppose you could paint on the windows but from memory Delta only had the DC8-71 which they upgraded from the 61 model and never owned the 73. I don't know how familiar you are with the DC8 because even though they look similar the 71 and 73 are different aircraft and dimensions. Check here for a discussion about the differences http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/tech_ops/read.main/161610/

I know, that's kinda what I meant by it not being the same... aside from the painted windows, it would just be a representation. Haven't decided yet, I am not sure if I will even buy it now; gotta think on it.
Not even sure if it is an accurate 73. The wing texture are, as far as I can tell, the same for all models. Meaning they put 55/61 wings on the 73. |

I went ahead and took the plunge pretty much for the -61 and the -61 alone. I have started work on a Delta livery (early one with low baremetal beltline).
nm, it's FUBAR.
