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.
