First off all manny Thanks and deeply Respect for their work to :
Nick Botamer and all Historic Jetliner Group's guys : for letting me paint this livery on their great B707.
Also many Thanks and deeply respect for their Work to:
Greg Germann: For letting me use his fantastic metallic finish
Jason Diaz: For the approved metallic finish
Matthias Gödeke: For letting me use some of his textures
Thomas Stillner and Bodo Müller: For teaching me a lot in painting.
Thank you all guys!
This is my first repaint and it took me a long time to learn everything about painting.
Many details of the drawn details i found in old books and they are all handdrawn.
For maximum Realism for this plane I suggest Paul Goldings 707 Panel, the sound from Daniel Careri and the new smoke system from the HJG Web Page.
Enjoy flying her, and if you like it, give me a short note.

DESCRIPTION of the 707:
Beginning as the Model 367-80 in 1952, the Boeing 707 was to become the first turbine-engine powered aircraft in the US. The basic design, first unveiled in 1954, was derived from the Boeing 377 Stratocruiser civil and KC-97 military transports and especially the B-47 Stratojet bomber. The 707 saw many improvements over its production lifetime, namely sporting numerous engines ranging from the original Pratt & Whitney JT3C turbojets to the final, much-improved, JT3D-7 turbofans. So successful was the Boeing 707 concept that it has served as the basis for all future Boeing transports to the current day as well as those of its rivals. By the time production finally ended in 1991, 1,010 aircraft had been built for passenger, freight, and military operations. Many will remain in service, especially with African and South American operators, well into the 21st century.
