I'm already looking at my currently in progress C-46 paints (and others I intend to start) for the old CalClassic one and thinking, "Do I want to finish these or wait for Baz & the boys to release theirs?"

Finally! Instant purchase! Honestly, I hope you make well deserved $$ on this one. It was up for.grabs for a long time and those that chose to make high wing cessna after high wing cessna had their chance. Good choice! Great choice! Perfect choice! All success to your team!
Just one request...can the speculars be mapped per part like the diffuse is, instead of a generic exterior texture for everything?
Can't wait! Again, good for you for picking this one up...a true classic and completely neglected aircraft in FS.

Looking forward to this one as a must have.

I probably share your sediment exactly. I think anyone who has watch the Ice Pilots series is going to be quite interested in the C-46. And Also Flight Replica's DC-4, for that matter.
They are really putting out some models in timely fashion.

Yes exactly. I've Been watching it recently on Netflix and really hoped that someone woukd take it on. That's the reason I'm requesting the specs be mapped and not just a generic one. You can't make believable aluminum without custom specs....

I too was in awe of "The TINKER BELLE" at Oshkosh last summer. What a Magnificent beast she is! I really hope they consider her for one of the release paint schemes.
Amen to that! And you can do some pretty neat stuff with the painted bits as well. I'm all about the specs.
Tinker Belle
The C-46 Tinker Belle makes a yearly appearance at the Mid Atlantic Air Museum. It would be nice to have a paint of it. For the past two years a WWII Parachute Demonstration Team (can't remember the team's official name) did drops. Something to see. So of course it follows to have a parachutist effect.
On another note, the P-61 that they pulled off Mount Cyclops near Hollandia is nearing completion. Last year it was up on three wheels, engines and props, tail booms and empanage, radome in place. Needs wings and I don't know about the interior. Can't wait to see it fly.
Here is a link to the restoration page:http://www.maam.org/p61/p61_rest.htm
I will have to look through my pictures from last year and see if I can find a shot of what they have done so far.
