South African Airways Boeing 747-344, Released!!

[Philip Foglar]

Hi guys,

Continuing from my recent South African Airways Boeing 747-200 and 747-400 liveries here are my 747-300s.

South African Airways ZS-SAU "Cape Town" New Colours Circa 2004

South African Airways - Nigeria Airways ZS-SAU "Cape Town" Hybrid Colours Circa 2001




Around about 2001 South African Airways and Nigeria Airways operated ZS-SAU "Cape Town" in a joint partnership.

South African Airways ZS-SAU "Cape Town" Old Colours Circa 1980's

South African Airways ZS-SAU "Cape Town" Old Colours Circa 1990's





ZS-SAU "Cape Town" as she appeared in the 1990's wearing the newer Springbok colours.

Many of the textures have been customised - to mention a few:

Night textures, added tail logo lights on horizontal stabilizers which illuminate the tail, modified metal texture on the engines to appear as natural as possible with very little alpha channel usage. Grey under belly on certain liveries which was a little tricky to shape to match the way the textures distort so low down on the model. As with my 747-400 paints there custom made semi transparent fan textures, and subtle shadows added in key areas as well as to the lower wing-root/belly to enhance the appearance of the vents.

Comments always welcome.

All the best,

Philip.
