Thanks for clearing that up. I just started reading this thread and was going to post that someone needs to do some more research. But you'd be suprised how many customers wouldn't have a clue that there was a difference.

As you can see from Gunnar's post #34, the separate models have now been compiled. The first image is of the "normal gear" and the subsequent images are of the a/c with the gravel kit installed.
 
A few more exterior shots....

I'd like to discuss those very nice looking JANET paints for your 737 with you...
But first I need you to stare at the little red light on top of this device. :pop4:

There's been a red stripe 'Janet" 737 in one of the Delta Tech Ops Hangars in Atlanta for the last week. I've seen it a few times while taxiing to 26L, and it appears to be getting a C check.
 
I had the "People complain about sales in this market and they're doing another 737?" reaction too. But then I saw the shots, and combined with MilViz's usual quality, I'll be picking this up if the price isn't too PMDGish. :)

Besides, I've always loved the look of the 737-200. (Much more than flying in them, ugh.) You should do a "for fun" model where you throw a giant bubble canopy on top and paint it in an Me-262 scheme! That's what the -100/200 series always looked like to me. "We have to compete with the DC-9, and we don't have time to design a new airliner from scratch!" "Well, we have these captured German plans sitting around... Multiply every number by 8 and put a cockpit in front!"
 
A case has been made that Boeing took the general proportions including the wing sweep from the 262. I think the real reason that the pods are tucked closely to the wing has to do with the desire to keep the gear short and the engines fairly close inboard for single engine controllability. This has bit them a bit as the airframe has attempted to grow.

Give me a heads up next time you're in ATL!
