2. Nationair A321neos

Sorry for the awful cargo door images. I'm basing the thickness and prominence of the doors with those on Air New Zealand's A321neos (https://cdn.planespo..._22d1614fae.jpg) and I'm not sure how visible they should be.

-----------------

The A321neo and A321neoLR are poised to be Nationair's 757 replacement, both in size and in capability. Both short- and long-haul operations are possible with this new bird, including new transatlantic flights like Kansas City to London Heathrow (a new summer-seasonal route last tried in 1998 by Midwest) as well as a variety of routes from hubs such as Philadelphia, where many 757s currently fly transatlantic routes. Nationair is currently taking delivery of two different sub-fleets of A321neos: a domestic (20 NationalFirst, 36 Main Cabin Select, and 138 Main Cabin) with traditional first class seats and an international (16 NationalONE, 30 Main Cabin Select, and 119 Main Cabin) with updated Thompson Vantage 2-2 and 1-1 lie-flat seats.

The top left example, N752NN, is configured internationally with dual-overwing exits and a plugged door behind the wing. Delivered last month with extra fuel tanks, she is currently being tested by Nationair in Cincinnati before an inaugural transatlantic flight. The bottom right example, N737NN, is configured domestically with a single overwing exit and a door behind the wings. She is currently based in Miami, flying up the East Coast to hubs in Charlotte, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, and Cincinnati.



    This is pretty well done.


    I'll suggest working on the shadow depth of the window pane as the shadow is either strong or weak on some areas. It kinda blends the color of the fuselage.


    Other than that, well done.
    I love it! And those cargo doors look quite good!
