Southwest 737-8H4 ''Freedom One''

10.5k Timplanes  3 months ago

From Every Mountainside… Let Freedom Ring!

Southwest currently operates just over 200 examples of the 737-800, with the type first entering service with the carrier in 2012. This 737-800, N500WR, is 10 years old at the time of posting, being delivered in 2014. In 2021, it became the first Southwest 737-800 to be painted in a special livery. It was painted in the "Freedom One" livery, which depicts the American Flag, to celebrate the carrier's 50th anniversary.

This is my most ambitious livery project so far! This one sort of came out of the blue when I was browsing the internet looking for airline liveries. Anyways, hope you enjoy!

Credits to GalacticaAsia for the Original Plane

Most of the work done was in the livery, but some minor updates have been made to the aircraft such as re-shaped doors, various landing gear changes and the addition of the satcom and tail skid.

    @Airgaurdian sorry, but I don’t think I can help you with that build. The whole thing is 1/2 scale and I don’t have time to make a decent 737 cockpit from scratch. Perhaps you could ask someone if you could use their 737 cockpit for your build.

    @Airgaurdian what kind of help do you need? I can help you with how to build it, but I’m not sure I can actually collaborate on a build.
