Default Cielos Cargo MD-11

I was reading the book by Arthur A C Steffen (McDonnell Douglas MD-11) on Saturday and saw the photo of this Peruvian cargo plane and since I had an extra MD-11 decided to do it. I know it is not a fancy custom (it only took about 4-5 hrs to do), but I wanted to do a South American airliner. Hope you guys like it.

I hope I can get back to work on the airport soon. I have purchased everything I need including the fiber optic fibers and light source for them, but I love creating these customs and it has taken most of my free time that I would otherwise be using to work on the airport. I am hoping to re-start work on the airport this weekend. So far about 25% of it has working fiber optics.

I see it isn't always exact. The "MD-11F" logo on your model's engine is way bigger than the one in the picture. Was also wondering, the lettering around the forward door, are you able to read it, cause I can't tell from either picture.

You are right about the size of the MD-11F logo. If I could take a close-up of the front of the plane you would be able to read "OPERATED BY GEMINI AIR CARGO" as well as the name of the plane "PETETE".

Very nice job. Isn't that the same cheatline that is on the Staff cargo, which is now converted back to the Gemini.
