Amazing, but I don't like the black nose, it doesn't suit the plane IMHO.

Well done all the same ;D

Hehe, I always thought that the black nose gave her a very distinctive look. :)

Looks like a dogs nose.

I would be impressed if Steve Dra can paint a 747 in the scheme of that don in my pictures. I never fly the 747, its just too long haul, but I'll down load it.

Isn't the real Schleswig Holstein stored and put up for exhibition (spelling?) ?
I'll see if I can find the pictures and you'll know what I'm talking about

Well, just as avionics have made great strides, so has aircraft paint! :)
Back in the day, the color black was one of the colors that didn't require lead to prevent the color from fading. Why is this so important? It is because the wx radar signals from the radome would be somewhat "blocked" by the lead in the color. So by using a black lead-free color they avoided that problem :)

Nowadays the aircrafts can have any color on the nose without disturbing the radar.



I see! Thanks for the info Nexus! ;D
