Default Some 767 love

There's been a lot of 767 criticism lately. I personally like the mould. There is always room for improvement but personally, I think it's fine and if any mould needs to be redone, the 737-200 should be done well before the 767 is even touched. To me, deal breakers are cockpit windows being placed too high or the color just completely off. I got rid of the first Delta 767-300 because of the tail and fortunately they redid that one. I would still buy any Delta widget, TWA twin stripes, or UPS old colors in a heartbeat on this mould without any hesitation. If the engines look too low it's because I used a crappy table cloth.















And just for fun because as much as I like the 767, it's a little sad that another trijet is going away because of it. On a jumpseat trip, I was supposed to be on a MD-11 but the DC-10 (I know, it's a MD-10 but it's a DC-10) showed up instead and I was pleasantly surprised to be able to fly on again.

Wow, great collection, the Delta bird looks really smart. To be honest, I don't have much of an issue with the nose, it's not that bad, but as usual on the forum, one or two negative comments seem to snowball into large amounts of negative overtone overkill. I only really commented on the engines, seemingly the only choice looks like a PW type. I don't currently have any 767 models, but I would definitely buy Delta (widget), American (oc) and BA examples. It would be nice if, like the 747 and 777 in recent years, the 767 got some attention to detail mods, like the 3 engine types now on offer on the 747s.
Thanks for showing off your collection anyway, and hopefully the 767 will get the attention it deserves in time.

I also love the Gemini 200 B767 mould together with the B757 one... to me the ones without the new winglets are my favorite ones...

I'll agree with the 'no winglettes' wish. Hopefully GJ will give the 767 the 'tender love' that it deserves, and also release some more 757s without winglettes and maybe even upgraded landing gear (hope, hope)!!

That FedEx 763 looks really nice. Looks good without the winglets, although the American 763 with winglets looks really good. One of my favorites from my collection.
