FINALLY! Yes, it took me all this time to get this one done. Well, it's mostly a question of will power. There's so many curves in this logo. Anyway, here's the 73NG-C featuring the gravel guard (?) on the fuselage and engine. Besides the cargo door, the rear port door is also taken fro Alaska's 732C. The winglet... eurh... that's pure cosmetics

AWSOME!!! Since they have ordered the 738 with winglets, maybe there 73GC's to?? That'd be great seeing those in SEA!!!

Great work. I always hurry through most of my work. The time pays off.

Thanks guys And since I'm a glutton for punishment I went for horizon too. This odd bird never took to the sky.

That second one looks like an A319 with a B737 tail and a B777 APU.

Well, it has the same engines as EMB 170/175 too. Actually the APU is a guesstimate since I cannot find any clear picture of the aircraft's starboard side. I did find a photo of the tail 'cone' on the manufacturer's site and it showed the exhaust hole. So, if anyone has good pictures of the starboeard side please do share it with me

It actually IS a real airplane! The company fold not long after they rolled out the prototype, which never even made it to the testing stage.
