that's the panel i use, the ribbon type. also you could use the other panel version with the steam gauges. depends what you want to use. hope one day someone might do the raf repaint. no i'am not that good to attemp that repaint.
I wouldn't say stunning, and the time it's taken to develop is anything but - and it's not even close to being done yet, lacking lots of detail parts and an FDE.
I did recently reinstall my FS2004 export tools (they stopped working a few months ago for some odd reason) so that I could finish the L1011 without doing any FSX mods (because I'm too lazy), so who knows...
The original 727-200 release had a cargo version. As to updated -200s and a cargo -100 - I wouldn't count on that until I have time to do the FSX updates, mostly because, once again, there are issues to fix, and it requires a new build of the basic model, followed by the variations being added and whatnot.
I really do wish I'd opted to do fewer variants sometimes...
