Made according the real livery of the Noorduyn Norseman NC725E "Interior Airways" located in Anchorage 

Originally it was the Noorduyn UC-64A Norseman US Army UC-64A 43-35433 manufactured by Canadian Car and Foundry Co. to transport troops during WWII. 

In 1945 it joined the US Fish and Wildlife Service, moved to Alaska in 1951 for Northern Consolidated Airlines,

Interior Airways purchased the aircraft in 1955 to use during the construction of the DEW (Distant Early Warning, a defense system) line and for other bush flying. Forty years later it was donated to the Anchorage Alaska Aviation Museum located on the south shore of Lake Hood, the busiest seaplane base in the world...

Sorry for the screenshots a bit too dark - the weather conditions were not so good last evening in Alaska  ;-D

On sunny days, the livery should be much more bright red than on the screenshots...

About this aircraft - information from Big Radials documentation  :
"The Noorduyn Norseman was designed and built by Noorduyn Aircraft Ltd., a Canadian aircraft manufacturer. The company was founded in 1928 by Dutch-Canadian aircraft designer Robert B.C. Noorduyn, who had previously worked for Fokker and Bellanca. The Norseman was one of the first aircraft designed and built by Noorduyn, and it was an immediate success, with more than 900 examples of the aircraft being built between 1935 and 1959. Noorduyn Aircraft continued to operate until 1986, when it was acquired by Canadair and merged into the parent company.

The Norseman is a single-engine, bush plane that was used primarily for cargo and passenger transport in remote areas, such as the Canadian North and Alaska. It was used extensively during World War II by the military, and many examples of the aircraft are still in operation today. The Norseman is known for its rugged construction and ability to operate on rough, unimproved airstrips. In Microsoft Flight Simulator, the Norseman is a highly-detailed and accurate representation of the real-world aircraft, with realistic flight dynamics and performance. It's a versatile and reliable aircraft that's well-suited for use in remote, challenging environments, and it's a great addition to any virtual pilot's collection."
