Ive been working on this on and off for a few months.

Meet the Boeing DC-3II. built to comemorate the Legendary DC-3 Dakota. useing the 737 700 as a base, these were custom built for those airlines who wished to celebrate their historical connection to the Dak.
Here you see one of two belonging to British airways in a retro BEA scheme worn by its original Daks. It is normaly found operateing out of Inverness Airport.

its a chopped up revell 737 700 (the one with Ryan air markings)

Oh, Glorious Leader!!!!

That is certainly a very imaginative and fresh concept. The rear wheel is a very nice touch.

Same here, but with one of these first.

This is a very cool concept. Better yet, it's just plain cool!
