    Boeing 747-8 Canada Pacific Air [No Text Mirroring] - Image 1

    Description

    Introducing another retro livery for the 747-8, this time the striking orange and red used by Canadian Pacific Airlines under the branding "CP Air" between 1968 and 1986. CP Air operated 4 747-200s on longhaul routes to Europe, Asia and Australia until 1985 when the fleet was sold.

    When I came accross this livery a couple of weeks ago I just knew I wanted to recreate it. It seems to perfectly capture the jet age with it's gleaming exposed metal fuselage complimented with orange and red markings reminiscent of some experimental test vehicle. The placement of the CP Air wordmark under the lower row of windows also makes it suitable for being put on the default 747 without any mirroring, though it's a little smaller than how it actually appeared as I was still limited by space.

    This was a fun one to make so I hope you enjoy flying it too.

    My bad, you don't have numbers on the nose gear door. I see a lot of these mirroring on the B787 when they include the registration tail number on the front nose gear doors.

    If you really want zero text mirroring, do not add the engine logo on the engine and the nose door numbers. Great work none the less, thanks....

    I'm willing to live with the text mirroring in the Pratt and Whitney logo, especially since it's only really noticeable up close. Not sure what you mean about the "door numbers" though?
