Western Airlines 1970 repaint progress

Hi.

Just a couple of screens from my Photoshop hangar and the latest project: Western Airlines 707 in 1970 colors. Wonder if the egg-yellow was white or is my photos just old and fainted.

Thanks for the kind words.

I will stick with the cream color.

I has looked (Almost ) everywhere on the internet for photos of Western Airlines 707. What I perhaps still need, is close-ups showing the Western titles on the fuselage,tail and reg.

I have done a lot of work on this matters, but it can be really hard to decide the type of fonds, judging from the photostock I have at my disposal.

If anyone has a link or a photo to share which can help me out, I would be most gratefull.  Smiley

Sweet work Jacob.

Are you pen tooling your work or is it all free style?

Looks great Jake!

I looked at some close ups of the Western titles on Airliners.net and everything looks spot on.

I could beta test it for you, if you like.

Close to upload of Western Airlines 707.

I submit a couple of screens. This is as close as I (think!) I can get.

...and I could not resist the temptation to play around with a little vintage style. It sort of fits with the subject.

The Western Airlines 1969 livery repaint is now uploaded to avsim and flightsim.com servers.

I hope you will enjoy the textures. I certainly had fun doing them.
