737-NGX Air California (fictional) circa 1967 WIP

Hey folks,
I thought I would try to recreate this old 1967 Air California 737 scheme and adapt it to the NGX. It has been tricky, I had to approximate the 'sun' logo from scratch as it is hard to find a good enough logo to fit a 4096x4096 texture lol. Also need to try to make the sun on the nose a little more complete. I tried to get the curvies stripes on the rear fuselage but it was a PITA to get them lined up right so I simplified the scheme slightly. I will probably try a PSA scheme sometime too.

Tons of stripes, a complicated logo and a fair deal of stickers. Congratulations of pulling through!
I'd have probably thrown the paint brush into the corner halfway through. :icon_lol:
 
lol thanks
I have more or less completed it. I solved the warping over the nose by making the stripes wide on the top and bottom.
