Ok, here is a fictional repaint of a real airline - Star Air Service fllying in Alaska in the 20's & 30's. Three aircraft, NC8410, NC8419 and NC9651 - all Ford Tri-Motors - flew for Star Air Service. Not able to find any pictures so this is what follows:

Attachment 35569 Attachment 35570 Flag is the Alaska Territory (same as the State Flag)! If interested PM me. Take care.

Nice, can always use more TriMotors

[edmoore235]

Thank you for the pictures. Never saw the Tri-Motor pics, did have a small color one of a wheel Bellanca for colors of plane and logo.
Used the Bellanca for example to paint the Ford - the Tri-Motor pics are 1943ish. Wanted a 1930's period. Great idea - may do another one, circa 1943 (also ownership changed in 1940, I think, and the name changed too).... take care.

Ed,

these look great, gonna have to get me them. Been outta the game for a few days with real life stuff, nice to come back to find these, as you know I have a thing for the stockers.

I'll need to get back on the Comet, still a few to do/finish. I'll be in touch after I get some house-keeping/catching up done.

I like how you enhanced the corrogation on the wings and fuselage Ed. Ads depth to this old glory.

Jeesh travel was slow back in them days. Imagine getting caught in some heavy thunder squalls at night in that thing trying to get your passengers to their destination. Want to feel disorientation, crank up heavy thunderstorms at night and fly her with those few instruments. Put her up there about 6,000 ft. What a ride!

They didn't have satelite weather and radar back in those days to warn of bad weather. I guess the best defense was to be a good navigator, know where your airports are at all times, and duck into the nearest airport when you encountered a long stormy squall line at night. Still I bet there were some that got caught up in them.

Thanks for the Maddux, I see a couple more I like too!
