I came across this site (http://www.joeld.net/snowcruiser/wings_feb_1980.html) which tells the story of the Antarctic adventures of a Beech Staggerwing, and I thought that it would make for a nice repaint. I had some trouble finding the right colours (Stearman Red and Galathea Orange), but I think they looks nice together, don't you agree?
Still wip, but getting there, now all I need is some Antarctica scenery...

Hey that Snow Cruiser is pretty cool. There are quite a few photos of it on the web. Here are a few. It would be great to see this in FSX with the Staggerwing. 9069290693


Just like filling up my Hummer!

Aerosoft's Antarctica is excellent scenery. I have to also say, after I bought and installed this scenery, I didn't really understand just how BIG that continent is until flying over it! Nice paint scheme, I'll be looking forward to it.

Interesting Jan!
While I was researching snowmobiles for another thread last winter I also ran across these that feature the Snowcruiser and the Beech:
