My favorite Air Canada livery.....

[Steve Dra 7,574]

On the iFly 747.  Oooh all that red!  My favorite of all the ACA liveries.  Hope my Canadian fellow simmers will enjoy taking some nostalgic flights with her.

 

 

 

 

A few more things to finish and I'll upload her, and KLM (She's done too).

 

Don't mind the ugly red mottling, its an artifact issue of the JPG compression algorithm, it really looks great in the sim. :wink:

That brought back memories! Thanks.

I remember that one.

Another awesome paint! Now that I have the iFly bird, I'll look forward to trying it out.

Thanks guys!

She's a beauty...I have a real attraction to cheat lines...so sad I can't accurately throw Pan Am and TWA on her.  :mellow:

 

I just uploaded her to the Flight1 library...she'll be in the next upload cycle there.

 

KLM will be next

I love it. Also my favourite AC livery. I'm hoping to see it on the PMDG version

Good news Richard....the PMDG 747 is going to release with this livery!  So I don't have to worry about moving my textures to her.

Here is the post that Kyle announced it on:

Here are 3 close ups of the finished version:

 

I started out with a drawing over a photo for the tail, but didn't like the results so I redrew it by hand...I think the Maple Leaf looks much better now.  The winglets were not hard to paint...unlike the ones for Air Pacific! 

 

Very basic, classy lines....no wonder I like her.

The Air Canada is just a tweak of your standard Ariel font....didn't take too long to do.

 

I put some dirt on the tail and around the side cargo door (she's a combi) to give her that "in service" look.

 

The red color always gets mottled with the jpeg compression.  But trust me it looks fine on the model.

Amazing stuff!!!

 

 

Your right too. It's a great model!!! Off to fly my 2nd flight on it.

If we talk nostalgia, for me it's "Canadian Pacific"...

Hey Carlos, Kyle mentioned that they already painted C-GMWW.  I asked him if it was the goose or red chevron version but he hasn't answered yet.  I'll probably paint the one they don't do.  I have a lot of Canadian simming friends.  :wink:

 

If you're referring to the orange CP Air, I don't think they ever flew the -400.  I really liked that livery too though!

I'm glad you're enjoying her!  :smile:

I imagine we would have seen the orange livery on the 400 if CP had stayed a bit longer perhaps a fictional on those 744?
