Paintscheme idea...
« on: July 15, 2004, 09:45:00 pm »
Dear pilots,

as I was updateing the 747 paintkit I was playing a bit with the EuroHarmony stripes. I had an idea how it looked like if the stripes got a bigger accent, so we got a more blue and more wavy design.

Here is the result:













It is just a question, not a will...do you like it? Would you like it to be an official paintscheme?

I like it very much, and if you do not, I would like to use it at least as a private plane with a private paintscheme ;D

Thanks.

That paint scheme is very modern and reminds me of the 7E7 house livery a lot. I would love to fly those colours! Betta start some hour building!

Cheers

It OK but at the nose, thats what puts me off. If I new how to paint planes (ive got the stuff for it) I would try a totally new paint for a EHM plane.

I like it very much and well done but I must say that i prefer the normal colours. Got any news on when the 747's painted in the special schemes of the hubs are coming out. And also great work on the Concorde, it looks fantastic.;)

Great paint scheme! only that yeah the nose looks kind of funny.....maybe it should be black as usual? and the word EuroHarmony appears to be too large

I have to disagree with you there Lim Zhen Yi, I think the noise looks great and the word Euroharmony is fine. The only reason some of the Euroharmony aircraft noises are black is due to the way the aircraft base models are made, otherwise they would all be blue and white.

Perhaps we are slowly creeping back to the old days where the aircraft were completely dark blue...:)

It looks nice, but I don't think Gergely would approve of it, it was his idea to make the aircraft more white so that they are more realistic, this is kind of going back in the opposite direction.

Hmmm...I understand the way of improvements now.

About the text, I like thatfact, that all real airlines have huge logos and texts on the planes, coz these are real advertisements! While the EuroHarmony planes have very small texts.

About the black nose, it is a painted element of the scheme and not a static part of the models. I think it looks very nice on small turboprops, but (for me) it looks very ugly on the large jets, like the B747, that is why I removed it. Maybe in the 80's it looked fine, but on the modern, real paintschemes you will not find the black nosecone.

I like blue planes, that could be the reason behind the bigger waves. As I said I do not want to invent this paintscheme, I am just curious about other pilots thinks, even if those are opposite of mine ;)

I guess I could make a tutorial on how to crash. ;):P

Keeping to the topic of this thread.
As always you do good work Robert. I like the paintscheme, and I agree that the black nose is a thing of the past. I don’t think I have seen many, if any airlines that use it today. So in short I think your paint job is great.

Now that you have mention it, I can see what you mean. There is a bit of Air Force 1 over it, should I say the aircraft that is known as Air Force 1. Because I found out that it's not an aircraft, it something that happens when the president of the United States set foot on an aircraft that aircraft will become Air Force 1. So I guess if we where to fly for the "big man" one day our Euroharmony plane would become Air Force 1.
About the whole helicopter idea, if Robert wants to make a repaint then thats okay. But I don’t think that I’m going to reveal any great secrets when I say, that the adding of new aircraft isn’t a subject that are placed high on the managements to-do list for the near future.

Well, I do not think it looks like the AF1, coz that plane has a full blue nose. Next to it I do not know what is the problem with the nose? It would look totally different a single deck plane, I think the blue waves would cover the cockpit windows. :) Hmmm...maybe I will work on it a little more later to be more perfect.
