This is a Canadian Coast Guard Alouette III (C-FCAW) late, red livery for Taog's Hangar's fantastic model and using his paint kit.
Updated for Version 1.3 of Taog's Hangar's Alouette III.
A little history found on the web. (Please feel free to correct me where I have made errors.)
The Government of Canada's first Alouette III was manufactured in June, 1965 and first flown as F-WKQI by Aerospatiale in Marignane, France.
On July 11,1966, the Canadian Department of Transport received the first SA316B Alouette III. Two more aircraft, including this airframe, now registered as C-FCAW, were delivered in 1967. Now fitted with permanent floats, they were all deployed from Quebec City to maintain maritime navigation aids and operated from ice breakers. All three were transferred to Victoria airport, CYYJ in the late 1960s, delivered to the Canadian Coast Guard and used on the Pacific Coast to support remote lighthouses and the Western Arctic, NWT. She served the Guard for 20 years until replaced by new MBB B0105's in the 1980's.

This was mostly done "old school" with GIMP and using Blender to find components.
Here she is, warts and all.
If you have the previous version of this livery for the original Taog Alouette III ver 1.0,
please remove and replace the files with these to update it.
Otherwise just place the folder named: taog-alouette C-FCAW LATE RED into your community folder and fire it up!

Loving this series of Canadian Coastguard Alouettes - are you thinking of adding wheeled versions as well down the line ?

I was just thinking about that. Haha. I just updated the C-FCAX livery because now that it's retired and on wheels, they repainted the reg number in a different place than when operational. I think C-FCAX and C-FCAZ are both on wheels now. It's next on my list after finding out if C-FCAZ and C-FCAW were painted the same way as C-FCAX in the early 80s.
