That's right, this is the first time I've painted it with a plane from the official website. One of my favorite airlines, Air Canada, made it for another reason, because I want to simulate Air Canada Flight 621: Have fun!

Real picture:

AIR CANADA Flight 621
The Air Canada Flight 621 crash was a regular flight operated by Air Canada between Montreal Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport and Los Angeles International Airport. On July 5, 1970, a Douglas DC-8 aircraft crashed near Brampton, resulting in the death of 109 passengers.

AIR CANADA
Air Canada, formerly known as Trans Canada Air Lines, was founded on April 10, 1937. It made its maiden flight from Vancouver to Seattle on September 1 of the same year, carrying two passengers and mail. Afterwards, Air Canada developed into the national airline of Canada. On January 1, 1965, it was officially renamed Air Canada. In the late 1970s, Air Canada became a state-owned enterprise (Crown corporation).
In 1989, Air Canada completed privatization. Due to Air Canada's focus on domestic, European, and American routes, it did not have an official Chinese name until 1994 when Air Canada opened the Vancouver Hong Kong route and registered a Chinese name. At that time, Air Canada had already been registered as "Maple Leaf Airlines" by its competitor Canadian Airlines, which had opened a Hong Kong to Vancouver route in the 1950s.

Afterwards, this plan was put on hold because the cost of polishing the body was more expensive than fuel, and the all metal silver body coating was considered not aesthetically pleasing.
