My original post is shown below, but the day has improved, so I'll just say that I wish Carenado all the best...

You know, one doesn't want to sound too negative, but in this case there is no such thing as too negative...
It is the second-ugliest aeroplane in the air, and by far the biggest dogs-breakfast of an aerodynamic mishmosh ever certified to carry passengers.
The final design meeting would've gone something like this:
"Ooh Sales Dept. think we should sex this up a bit, how about a winglet here... darn, we'll have to compensate for that by adding something under the horizontal stabiliser. Oops! a crosswind will have you porpoising, better hang something under the tail to compensate for that! Now the T-tail structure has become too heavy, oh well, lop off a bit and just make it stick out the side of the fuselage. Now let's pretend we didn't forget how tall passengers are, and just raise the roof a tad. There, now how does that look? well... OK, better give it to Sales and see what they can do..."
This... thing... has been involved in a couple of dozen serious crashes, and managed to kill off over 180 people along the way.
Unbelievable that there are still over 400 in the air.
And, didn't PMDG lose the plot and make one already??[/quote]

Snazzy paint like we are so used to see , makes it so easy to change mod it to suit the other areas of the fleet .

Nice, will be getting this one. Hope the systems are as good as the paintwork, probably not to Accusim spec though.
