Hey there! Time for another livery!

Did you ever thought about having a iconic tri-jet in the livery of a South American airline? Then you've found the right post!

I present you... A (barely) real sized DC-10-30 in Varig colours!

Important note:

Now you can control the flaps as well, be aware of that.

MD-11 + DC-10 :D

A short history about this specific plane (PP-VMA):

Made in Long Beach, California. PP-VMA was the first DC-10 to enter service in Varig's fleet, and the first wide-body to be operated by a Brazilian airline, arriving in the national territory on May 30, 1974.
PP-VMA stayed in varig for almost 25 years, even being painted in the new Varig livery before being sold to AVENSA, Pegasus Aviation, and lastely, Santa Barbara Airlines, before being broken up at Roswell Industrial Air Center, in 2007, lasting over 33 years.

I thank you for taking some seconds or minutes to check the aircraft (or even download it) and have a good day.

Peace out.
