Amazing, but I don't like the black nose, it doesn't suit the plane IMHO.

Well done all the same Grin

Hehe, I always thought that the black nose gave her a very distinctive look.

Looks like a dogs nose.

I would be impressed if Steve Dra can paint a 747 in the scheme of that don in my pictures. I never fly the 747, its just too long haul, but I'll down load it.

Well, just as avionics have made great strides, so has aircraft paint!

Back in the day, the color black was one of the colors that didn't require lead to prevent the color from fading. Why is this so important? It is because the wx radar signals from the radome would be somewhat "blocked" by the lead in the color. So by using a black lead-free color they avoided that problem

Nowadays the aircrafts can have any color on the nose without disturbing the radar.

Great info Nexus. I was an avionics tech in the Navy years ago and vaugley remember all that stuff.

Yeah, she is the bird on display, but I like her in this paint. Not that I don't like the new colors, but the classics have always appealed to me, esp, Lufty's great livery.
