Conversion to the DC-8-62 serie
So I need someone to edit the model made by OWL (DC-8-43) and adjust/edit to the DC-8-62. The most important things are the fuselage and wings (If you want I can export the engines).
I want this because I have the paintings of the DC-8 61 and 63 (also the 71 and 73).
Here are some references that I could found:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_D ... _60_Series at DC-8 Series 62

http://www.airliners.net/aircraft-data/ ... 8-6070/194
More detailed specs: http://ialcargo.com/specs/dc8.pdf
If someone can attend this request I'll be very grateful and happy.

Edited!
Okay, I think that the conversion was successful.
Now I will start fixing the light positions, the cockpit, and the engine smooth.
If everything go well, start watching for more paintings.
And also, I've sent a couple minutes ago a PM to OWL regarding these editions and my previous and future works on his models.

DC-8 Series 61 wrote: Having decided to stretch the DC-8, Douglas inserted a 240-inch (6.1 m) plug in the forward fuselage and a 200-inch (5.1 m) plug aft, taking overall length to 187 feet 4 inches (57.10 m)
Which one ya making?DC-8 Series 62 wrote: It had a more modest stretch, two 40-inch (1.0 m) plugs fore and aft of the wing taking overall length to 157 feet 5 inches (47.98 m)~ 3 feet (0.91 m) wingtip extensions reduced drag and added fuel capacity, and Douglas redesigned the engine pods, extending the pylons and substituting new shorter and neater nacelles, all in the cause of drag reduction
Also im currently on a google rampage and found this:

Re: DC-8 conversion from 40 to the 60 serie
With your help I discovered that I need to look on the DC-8-63 (Airliners.net says: -63 Stretched, same length as -61 but with -62s improved wing and engine pods, long range).
Also NightRaven explained to me the basics editions on .dat file, that also I'll be apply.
Oh forgive my fault. I should rename this topic to the conversion of DC-8-62.
Due to my previous work on the DC-8-63, with landing gear and lights, as well simple doors, i've used as base to make the minor editions on the DC-8-62.
Again thanks, you made my day and weekend!
