Between decals, paint, and materials, plus a donor, I'm not sure how far ahead you'd come out doing it yourself versus having someone custom-paint it for you. That's the struggle @Purpleplane and I are going through with regards to 737s for Braniff II, Midway, and Presidential... and Frontier...

The number 2 engine shouldn't have the fan blades visible. The engine itself is clear at the back of the duct so you wouldn't see them.

I'd love to see somebody do a Pro Air -400 (there were three different ones, each a different color) as an exclusive release!

If they do the -10-10 in FedEx and American, I'll be a happy camper! American did run the -10 on ORD-IND back in the day!

FedEx had both engine options in their fleet. I would like to see a few of each...

USAir had a similar set of transcontinental routes that connected at IND, also using 737-300s...

@Purpleplane this one is right up your alley! How about some photos of these... I wasn't aware of the Wally Bird (former Western advertising character) variant.

No kidding. I have a feeling a lot of GJs are going to be hitting the secondhand market soon.... if only NG can make sure the issues they've had in the past with bare metal are 100% cleared up. My gosh, can you imagine these in AA, DL, and US?

How about the 1996 Olympic scheme? And FedEx and UPS...

Great list. I believe there were two different schemes on the MD-80 for Republic... The only thing I'd add to that would be the Continental 1991 scheme. And TWA Wings of Pride and any other AA, DL, or TW variations would be welcome. The twin stripe scheme had a couple of different variations on...

I hope they do American and TWA. Never can have too many of those! And USAir, hopefully the blue tail scheme first since nobody has done that one yet. Or US Airways dark blue...

I didn't realize it was the old mold. In that case, an update would be in order... it would be nice to have a tail number from near the end of the series. They had several that ended in DE once all the 9xxDL ones were filled up.

A 717 in the original AirTran scheme (WITHOUT the Elton John stickers!) or the Indianapolis Colts special scheme would be wonderful.

By contrast, Indianapolis in 1985 was still dominated by 727s and older DC-9 variants. As of February 1985, there were only two MD-80 flights at IND... TW 123 LGA-IND-STL, and TW 414 going in the opposite direction.

Northwest, Republic, Continental, and the early AA variants would be especially welcome... And I believe Ozark had a few also right at the end.
