                design & livery by Marcel Ritzema
                          

DESIGN:
-------
This design is basicly complety new designed, though in the beginning 
is was based on the model by C. Mosher & R.Randazzo. Found myselve
redoing so much parts that i think it's fair to "claim" this design
as one of my own. The fuselage is complety redone, one to save some
parts and two to give the upper deck a more volumes look. Special
attention was made to the cockpit windows to make them as realistic as
possible. Also the engines and wing are redone and 3D wheel were added.

The AFX will not be available for repaints, but you're welcome to send
me suggestions for liveries/repaints (no more than one at a time)
