Hello:wave:
Does anybody have pictures of a Finnish Air Force DC-2? Apparently they operated one during the Winter and Continuation wars. I can only find one picture and it doesn't show a whole lot of detail. Was kinda looking for something slightly better to show some markings or the paint job a little better.....
A while back before my computer broke, I was modeling this plane for Combat Flight Simulator. While waiting for some $$ to rebuild my computer from scratch I figured it would be a good idea to research this plane so I have some pictures to go by when I get a chance.:typing:
thanks in advance.

I managed to find only one other pic, it's worse and it's only 'probably' operated by Finnish air-force
