Summary of the Boeing 737-800…

The Boeing 737-800 is a stretched version of the 737-700. It replaced the 737-400 and competes primarily with the Airbus A320. The 737-800 seats 162 passengers in a two-class layout or 189 passengers in a one-class layout. The 737-800 was launched on September 5, 1994. Launch customer Hapag-Lloyd Flug (now TUI fly Deutschland) received the first one in April 1998.

Following Boeing's merger with McDonnell Douglas, the 737-800 also filled the gap left by Boeing's decision to discontinue the McDonnell Douglas MD-80 and MD-90 aircraft. For many airlines in the U.S., the 737-800 replaced aging Boeing 727-200 trijets.

Aircraft in real life…

RA-73185 was the second 737-800 delivered to Izhavia, and the only one currently to have a special livery and name; “???? ????????” (Literally meaning “Soul of Udmurtia” in Russian).

Other information…

The gradient was kinda mid, but it’s the best I could do/think of.
It was honestly quite fun to make this livery.

That’s all! Have fun!

Was originally gone put “Have fun!” in Russian, but the Cyrillic text just didn’t go as planned.
