How to make 3181 look more like a private jet

[jonwil]

Does anyone have any ideas how to make the 3181 look more like a private/coporate jet and less like a passenger jet?

The interior is no problems, its the exterior I am stuck on :(

Here is a picture of a real-life private jet.

Judging from the looks of it, the main thing you should do is shortening the fuselage. Everything else about 3181 looks pretty close to the real thing.

pretty much agree - most of the work is basically shortening the fuselage.

if you wanted to really get in-depth with the mod, you would make a good start by removing every second window (most private jets have VERY spaced-out windows), and add a door that hinges downwards, with a set of stairs on the opposite side, like on this G550:

(most private jets are both too tall to just step in, and often operate away from areas where an airbridge or stairs are otherwise readily available)

also, thinner wings might work, commercial jets carry more cargo per size, hence the need for thick wings. private jets often have long, slender (high-aspect ratio) wings.
