N674US was the last 747 Delta owned. Originally delivered to Northwest Airlines in October 1999, the aircraft was transferred when Northwest merged with Delta Air Lines in October 2008. The aircraft remained in operation until it was stored in January 2018.
This livery is a full vectored decal with no pixelation which reduces the file size by over 50% than the traditional albedo texturing.
Please leave feedback, review and/or consider donating and am up for requests for non-mirrored 747-8 popular liveries.

I tried this and it seems SU7 compatible (no crashes/bugs) but is there any confirmation? Thanks!

Yes this is SU7 compatible.

This video will show you using the correct colors, speciallu the shade of blue and the correct positioning of the ELTA titles om the fuselage.

Hi there, thanks for the feedback. I already replied to your PM that I've updated the colour blue in Version 1.1 and included a reason why the Delta title is in the position it is in:
"I am aware the Delta title is not in the same position from the 747-400. I took some artistic license which I've had to do with all my liveries to adapt them to better suit the 747-8 and seeing there is now enough room to position the logo between Door 1 and Door 2, that is what I decided on. It is also inline with other aircraft in that livery that put the title between the two forward doors just above the row of windows. With the extended hump and door placements changed, putting the logo where it was on 400 looked wrong and ugly."

Fantastic job on this Delta livery! It's a shame Delta retired their 747s before I ever got to fly on one, but at least now I can recreate the experience of flying on one in MSFS! Also, I see that you're taking requests for 747 liveries and was wondering if maybe you would be interested in creating a present-day Japan Airlines livery for the 747.

I believe someone who created a JAL ages ago has updated it to non-mirrored version of I’m not mistaken. If not, JAL is on my list. Ensure you make a request on the requests page and I’ll get to it eventually.

I am totally in love with this OMG!!!!!!! Only thing, I wish it could have been registered N661US instead of N674US but I still am downloading!! Many thanks!!! 😀

Thanks! I tend to always put the registration as the last aircraft retired or the first one if I'm doing a retro livery. Like to give the aircraft their own personality. Wish I could use the in-game type box so you could put your own registration in but unfortunately I have no control over where it is.
Also didn't realise that line underneath with the blue belly isn't straight but a massive curve.

David you’re a machine, this is incredible work!! Is United perhaps next? Or even Alaska or Southwest?
3 years ago
Haha. Thanks! Probably United next if these US liveries are popular. Figured I had done enough liveries in Australia and Europe and the majority of downloads for those were from the USA.
