I'd say the bottom one which looks lighter, but having seen it both in real life and in photos it is hard to determine...

Maybe you should just do an easy one in the meantime.. like one that's white with blue and grey stripes..

Hmm what airline do I know with that paint

[AlisterC]

The top one is very faded. I'd go with the bottom one as well.

[Alex]

Yea, the WB isn't really neutral on that first one, definately the second or third one. (I'm not an expert either - Great work with the 737's btw )

ok what about this then

[AlisterC]

5.51am!? Hope you didn't stay up all night doing this hehe
Looking good to me!!

[Stumpy]

Looking good
One thing the tail is a slightly different blue than the rest of the body. Check the photos again and you'll see what I mean

[ronindanbo]

some are some arent, my theory is that the blue they are using is susceptable to the sun therefore different positioned surfaces fade more than others, look at lots of pix of these liveries it's almost like no two are the same. Looking at it again thought I still think the blue is totally wrong

[ardypilot]

That looks just right Dan! *upload upload upload*

[Florian_S]

The blue looks fine Dan. I have seen many many pics of TUI group aircraft from various airlines and I'd say you have done pretty well there!

[ronindanbo]

Thanks Guys, I just need to texture the metal leading edge for the tail then I will upload her, should be in AVSIM over the weekend.

Awesome! If I can suggest one thing, cut a diagonal line across the lines at the front. That's how it looks on the other planes, and personally I think it looks sharper. See here

Incredible Work.

Is it just me or is the 737 one of the most timeless, attractive-looking birds in the sky?

The -300 and later seem to look good in any paint job. Great work again, Dan.
