Auto Credit Based on realSavageMan's Boeing 727-100 Original
A repaint of QingyuZhou's 727 in a fictional 727-100 Oil Spill Response livery. I also added an APU, a spray bar and tried improving the top engine intake area. It's not very realistic but its the best i could do... :/
(All credit to QingyuZhou for the Boeing, It's a wonderful 727!)
AG: 1 = Nothing,
AG: 2 = Thrust Reversers
AG : 3 = Beacon Lights,
AG : 4 = Strobe Lights,
AG : 5 = Nose gear lights,
AG : 6 = Landing lights.
AG : 7 and Trim Slider down = APU (caution, it's quite thirsty)
VTOL DOWN = Flaps + Slats
Happy Flying ;)

Good on you for knowing where the APU exhaust actually is.
However, the placement of the actual engine is off.
The APU (the Garrett GTC85) is mounted horizontally across the keel beam in the rear of the wheel well. It pokes right through the dividing wall between the two wheel wells, and can be seen on either side.
Interestingly, the reason for this bizarre placement was due to the fact Boeing originally did not intend for the 727 to have an APU, but after potential buyers complaining about this, Boeing had to find a place to put one very late in production. And that empty space in the wheel well was the best candidate.
You used inlets for details?! I have found the answer to life! @PanKlex204
@PanKlex204 Oh yeah
I don't think that Oil Spill Response uses 727-100s, so it’s fictional. ;) @GritAerospaceSolutionsLTD
Why is one of the tags fictional?
Cool!
Thanks! It was the first time I used fuselage inlets for creating liveries, so it kinda was an experiment for me. :) @PlanesAndThings2
