Eight more textures for Libardo Guzman / CalClassic's Curtiss C46A Commando, converted to CFS2 in SOH library.
ROCAF Curtiss C-46D-10-CU
Unit: 6 Sqn, 20 TG
Serial: 620
From a picture found on Wings Palette
American Curtiss C-46A-20-CU, made from a picture of a plane kit found on the web. Curtiss C-46A-40-CU based upon a plane kit decal sheet. I probably painted the nose art a bit too big, compared with the pictures of the original model, but I was too lazy to make it again. Sorry...The original nose art is one of the tallest I've ever seen.
CurtissC-46A-45-CU
Unit: ATC, USAAF
Serial: 7342 (42-107342)
This C-46A was assigned to a unit of the Air Transport Command (ATC), USAAF at Chabua, India, circa 1944, and was employed on supply flights over the 'The Hump' to China.
Curtiss C-46A-50-CU painted with D-day stripes, probably used during Operation Market Garden.
Curtiss C-46D-5-CU called 'Smiley's Airlines.'
Unit: 4th CCG (Combat Cargo Group)
Serial:42-101211
This Commando flew supplies to Andaw, Burma on 11th March 1945. It crashed on March 19, 1945. Two repaints for a Curtiss C-46D-15-CU and a Curtiss C-46D-10-CU, as displayed in various American Museums. The C-46D, 44-77635 was at the Pima County Air Museum on December 18, 1979. It had been restored to World War II period olive drab over gray. It was given the name Syracuse Shackrat. All textures, except the Chinese C-46, are based upon an original repaint by Manuele Villa: FS2004 USAAF Curtiss C-46A 'The Tinker Belle.'
Most of the job comes from him, and I just added some cut and paste elements.
