The King may have used several different DC3's as did Montgomery, five to be exact.

The skins are very clean due to the Royals transport. In these pics you can see no black walk ways on the wings. The glare shield stops at the nose cone. The Royal flag is shown above the cockpit. The roundel has the yellow ring. Tail # looks to be KN386.

Joe-

I have installed her and she is LOVELY. Here she is awaiting her next Kestrel flight...



I am constantly amazed by the talent and generousity of members here at SOH.

I remain obliged- C

Your Welcome,

From the looks of the screenshot you may want to add BannaBob's globalEnvTest.
She will look more polished with this installed.

Finally....last one of the seven....and probably most recognizable .....more to do yet...

Thanks from me also Joe, although I see that the 24 Sqdn badge has been replaced.

Den..

Best info we have on these is that they wore the Transport Command crest (quoted from 2 different sources). I sent you a PM here a fortnight or so ago. Did you ever get it?

[Tom Burnside]

That's nice looking, Duckie.

Would be cool if there was a long nose option for the model.

Of course.....another cool mod would be to toss the door and mount a few GAU-2/M134's in it.

[Ron Attwood]

Someone suggested a 'Feathers' livery of North Central's DC-3. This is as good as I can get as there is a dearth of decent pictures. Those that do exist are grainy old things or a schematic drawing.

Anyhow:







I'll upload it to SOH, in the meantime: My MediaFire account

Ron,
It's like you weren't on my Christmas card list already.... Going to have to send you a case of grape squeezins for you and the misses.

WOW!

[GB]

Is anyone of the talented SOH painters interested in doing the last flying C-47D of the Hellenic Air Force (ΠΑ 49622) please ? I'm not skilled myself but all gentlemen here are doing extraordinary repaints, so I just hope !!!

[Jafo]

This one's done....that makes 7 of them....



I just need to find the definitive 'red' that's not a photo/fade issue.

I have been searching for the GlobalEnvTest files, and only found a link at FlyAwaySim. That download only provides a htm file though.
Any suggestions where these chrome shine files can be found?

Very nice livery by Zsolt Beleznay in the latest Colours, I don't think that there is one for Pegasus yet.


Cheers

Search for alternate_globalenvtest.zip at Avsim, should pop right up.

Thx,
