A2A Connie is released!

the more i looked the roundels where not in season, we stopped using the 2 tone roundels in 1953 and than adopted the roo, its more likely Australia wouldve used in them in the mid 50s than late 40s

BendyFlyer - below is a link to a gallery I just created. The images are full-size jpegs, about 2MB each. You should be able to download them from there, or just view them. At the gallery, click a thumbnail and you will then see a 'Download Full Size Image' button.

EMFRAT - thanks. I found a picture of model with a cutaway showing the interior held at the Qantas Museum (probably an original travel agent or similar publicity model). It shows the first Connies at Qantas had brown carpets, light tan seats white head covers and the wood panelling common to all Connies of the period. As for the cockpit no feedback yet on the grapevine. I am pretty sure they would have taken them as they came in that area, so probably that horrible green the early Connies all had with a few black panels here and there. I cannot recall from memory (too young) what colour they were, except the outside. Anyway we shall see.

Interesting Jeansy, probably without the Roo in the roundels is my view and I would ditch the emergency exit yellow as this sort of nod to safety (the airport fire staff etc) did not turn up until the early 1960's in all aeroplanes as emergency exits other than doors were mandated in international design rules.
 
Jeansy, a small comment probably related to the Alpha but I have noticed with a lot of repaints that the polished aluminium appears to grey off.

In real life these were highly polished aluminium and the engineers hated it because they used gallons of degreaser and other stuff to get the oil and mess of these birds and it was regarded as a bugger of a job especially in winter.

Thanks for the first Connie paint, great work.

Sorry Bendy, are you saying mine or others?

trying to get the perfect metal look can be a waste of time as it can look different from computer to computer, it all depends on the files you have and depending on what sim what shaders you have

Steady on Jeansy, the normal looking aircraft are great. Resist the epidemic of chrome airplanes!

(just a friendly jab at the shiny airplane crowd, it is a personal preference, I know)

Going to add the white stripe to the cheatline ?

Edit: Ahh, scratch that, you choosed the DC-3 livery as example... Well done, mate ! ( Lufthansa is grossartig too ! :applause: ) (could it be that the Lufthansa flash on the outer vertical stabs do not run parallel with the one on the inner stab ?... )
