Flight Replicas Douglas DC-4/C-54/Carvair Released

[JensOle]

The Danish AF flew some smart looking C-54s as well, maybe one of you metal texture experts can take a look

WIP!
I have to do some final things, this repaint is not really easy to do. But repainting seems to works well with the model.

That looks very sharp! I need to get this package this weekend

Any chance for a Vietnam war HC-54 (SC-54)? Some very good colorfilm on youtube if you search for "udorn rescue 1965" which can be used for reference.

Almost finished a bare metal one as as a study for my repaints.

Thanks you for doing these repaints! I am especially looking forward to this one. My first flight on an airplane was on a C-54 painted similar to this one from Elmendorf AFB, Alaska to McChord AFB, Washington in September 1953. The airplane was configured for air evac and we sat on side-facing web seats. After takeoff the pilots invited me up to the cockpit--very exciting for a 9 year old! Keep up the good work.

Looks great but technically I don't think the carvair is considered a DC-5.

 

[jeansy]

Looking great Matt! Thanks for the Bristol Freighter lookalike. There was one of those at Point Cook at one stage, as it was in the PR when I was doing that scenery. Maybe you remember how I asked you to "make" me one.

All the paints are looking great.

Cheers,

My first for this marvellous package;
C-54D "618" of the Royal Danish Air Force, 1970s. Currently just the fuselage which has been painted. The font for both the RDAF and number had to be hand made as I did not find any stock fonts for them.

Just upload it here on library...

This repaint shows ATL Carvair 9J-PAA of Phoebus Apollo of the year 2005. Was Douglas C-54E c/n 27314, ex JA6015, N88881, 44-9088. Converted to ATL-98 VH-INM c/n 27314/21. First flight in Southend as Carvair No.21 in 1968, was the final Carvair built. Became VH-INM of Ansett Transport Industries. In 1990 registered as N5459M for Air Cargo Hawaii, trading as Hawaii Pacific Air Inc, Honolulu. In 2002 Phoebus Apollo purchased this bird, registered 9J-PAA by Phoebus Apollo Aviation Zambia, Lusaka. Entered freight service between Johannesburg and Lusaka, delivering Exclusive cigarettes and carrying general cargo.

On 25.6.05 this Carvair was ferried from Johannesburg-Jan Smuts to Johannesburg-Rand. Probably its last flight. 9J-PAA still parked at Rand, reported that owner plans to make it airworthy. It was 2011. Until today in 2017, 9J-PAA is parked in Johannesburg-Rand with that funny scheme.

Mark, texture mapping on Carvair models are working well. In my opinion, no need to put a further hand on it. Wainting for your update with workin front cargo door in exterior models.
