AIR CANADA 777-200 4K

WHEN THIS LIVERY FIRST CAME OUT I DIDN'T KNOW IF I LIKED IT OR NOT. IT WAS SO DIFFERENT, SUCH A RADICAL DEPARTURE FROM THE TRADITIONAL AIR CANADA COLOURS. I WOULD SAY THAT MY LIKE FOR IT INCREASED OVER TIME BUT ALSO WAXED AND WANED.
I FOUND THE LOOK KIND OF NOVEL AND HARD TO GET USED TO AT FIRST. THEN I STARTED TO REALLY LIKE IT, ESPECIALLY THE TAIL WITH THE PIXELATED CANADA MAPLE LEAF. AFTER A WHILE THOUGH IT SEEMED THAT IT LOST ITS ATTRACTIVENESS. IT SEEMED TO FADE OUT QUICKER.
I ALSO FOUND THAT GETTING THE CORRECT MATCH ON THE PAINT COLOUR FOR MODELS WAS QUITE VARIED. I REMEMBER BRINGING HOME A GEMININ 787 IN THESE COLOURS AND ENDED UP BRINGING IT BACK BECAUSE IT LOOKED SO OFF IN MY HOME LIGHTING.
COMPARE MANUFACTURER TO MANUFACTURER AND YOU COULD SEE A BIG DIFFERENCE. SOME WERE TOO DARK OF PEPPERMINT TOOTHPASTE BLUE AND OTHERS WERE TOO LIGHT, PRETTY MUCH BLENDING INTO THE BRIGHTER PART OF THE SKY.
I FOUND IT ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT LIVERIES TO COLLECT FOR THAT REASON. I ENDED UP FINDING THIS ONE I REALLY LIKE AND ENDED UP KEEPING AS A MEMORY OF THAT LIVERY. I ALSO HAD A HOGAN 1:100 SCALE 777 THAT SEEMED A GOOD MATCH, BUT HAVE SINCE SOLD THAT ONE.
I DO HAVE ONE 787 AIR CANADA IN THIS LIVERY AS WELL THAT SEEMS CLOSE TO THE REAL DEAL.
I STILL SEE A NUMBER OF REAL PLANES LEAVING AND DEPARTING YVR WITH THIS LIVERY, SO IT ISN'T TOTALLY EXTINCT YET, BUT SLOWLY BEING REPLACED WITH NEWER PLANES AND PAINT JOBS.
THIS MODEL IN 1:400 SCALE IS A GOOD FIT INTO MY AIRPORT MODEL SET UP. I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE VIDEO.
