The sheer amount of detail in the Evert's Blue Canoe by Steve Dra must be seen to be believed... well worth a DL.... for the painters amongst us, you know how hard the nose stripe was to get right... and it's brilliant!

Thanks Steve!
 
I think this exemplifies the spirit of SOH- here we have 2 great talents praising another’s work. I am so glad to be a small part of this community. For those who haven’t downloaded 1CE… she’s really incredible.

Looking good Thomas! I saw a pic of her without the logo on the left nose....but wondering if you're going to try and create it....looks cool and think it would enhance the livery, but can't read the writing in the only "ok" pic I can find of it on the web. Looks like a one-off sticker they threw on her...not an official NOAA sticker for sure. I'd make up some text :) Think the last word is "Agency" but hard to tell....could not find that logo anywhere.Also...on some of the close-ups I've seen of those hurricane patches on the left side...each one has the name/year of the specific hurricane.:) I expect your livery to faithfully reproduce that! Hehe. Remember to only use names from the years this plane flew thru them...I'll be checking for accuracy! LOL Don't cheat and pull the names of the storms from the good photos on the side of the P3!!!

Thanks!Took your Aviateca on a flight in her region somewhere in Guatemala (forgot the airports)....love this unique color scheme and flying in this region! Not sure if the airport I landed at was accustomed to such a large aircraft, LOL

There's my ride!

Stunning - and that's my favorite of the several different NOAA paints. Glad you were able to find references.

Looking forward to taking her on Point A-Point A observation flights.

Thanks again for taking her on.

The emblem/logo is also on NOAAs C-130 N6541C of the Seventies. But there are no highres pictures around. In that time, NOAAs birds are based in Miami Intl. At least I found it on an old Captsim repaint of good old FS9. But to cover that, is also not purposeful. Tomorrow I will write an email to NOAA, I am sure, thats the best way to get a better template.

To make the hurricanes stickers proper readable, I have to do it in 10k. With risks of CTDs on older systems. Without a highres reference like the Orion, there is no way.

Hehe...I was kidding about the hurricane names. I hope in the future all devs can make use of decals so we can get those hi-rez textures in common places on the aircraft.I hope NOAA responds and is able to supply the logo.Too bad PMDG didn't model the big radome on the other NOAA birds...that would be awesome!

Email to NOAA with emblem request is out. Find pic of August 1975 which shows front emblem and US flag also on right side. Nice. Did an investigation on hurricanes in West Atlantic area between 1960-1974 for the stickers. They are now readable. :jump:

Working on overall engines shine and exhaust dirt is going on

NOAAs repaint of 1975 is a big fun. Got an answer to my logo/emblem request, with no luck, but got new contact. Second email is out.

Anyway, my work is nearly finished. Did a lot of work on engines and fuselage with new emblems on the front (which is a placeholder). Really nice is the turquise inner front door. This is real on that time on N6539C.
