Looks like the wing root has been fixed?(Oops, I misread it. I thought it was a 747-8F.)

Hopefully they’ll do the PAX 744 in this livery as well

Indeed, that “cargo” is an automatic -10,000 aura.

Very glad to see the J Birds coming out! Definite addition to my MD-11 collection.

The CX Cargo 744 looks awesome. Need the Pax version now.

Hainan Airlines A340-600 (B-6508/6509/6510)

The cockpit printing looks good (NG and Panda should take note here), but unfortunately the nose shape is still too blunt from the side. It lacks the distinctive nose shape of the A330/340 series and spoils the look of an otherwise excellent model. A more minor inaccuracy is the nose-gear height being a bit too short.

Comparison to the real thing:

Is the purple a bit too dark?

Is the purple a bit too dark?

Maybe a little, but I guess it also depends on the light. Overall, I think the model looks amazing!!!

 

[LachieHare]

Hard to tell from the photos but I almost feel like the purple isn't metallic enough.

 

[JET-10/11/47]

Good to see the MD-11’s rolling ( or should I say ‘flying’) off the factory production lines!

No clue about this example, but HX/SQ doesn’t have a stellar track record when it comes to color…

Agreed. In this case, if I'm not mistaken - the colours should be pearlescent - and more 'vibrant' ?
HX's look dull and of course darker - like the previous KLMs

Don't judge purple from pictures unless you know the camera sensor and post processing.
My Canon (and not just mine) under artificial light fails to correctly capture purple but displays it dark blue. But I'm not saying HX did it correct.
