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.

Lovely Danish paints Jens-Ole!
They give me a great urge to replace my beloved JBK model (that I modified for P3DV4 myself ...).
Thanks! I think the danish scheme looks very good on the C-54! It was quite a job to research all the decals associated with the rescue marking around windows and cuttable sections. The decals are in both english and danish and are different from all other c-54 rescue decals i have seen.
As you probably know so was the black painted walkways a bit different on the danish 54’ (longer and 3 sections among things), do you have any pictures of the top of the wing showing where the walkway ended and/or if it overlapped the dayglo?

Are these posted somewhere for download??
There are many pictures of the Danish C-54's here (after the ones of C-47's), but sadly not really a good overwing one: https://www.flickr.com/photos/alfblume/sets/72157640929346985

Request for PAA & United Liveries
This is a long worded request for a late 40's/early 50's repaint of PAA & United Air Lines.
About a month before Mike released his C-54/DC-4 I started the 1947 "Round the World" schedule, Flight #4, with PAA. This left New York and proceeded through Europe using a Connie (I used the A2A L049) until it arrived in Calcutta...whereby the passengers were transferred to a DC-4, after staying overnight, for the balance of the trip to KSFO. So now I have 44 passengers and a crew in Calcutta with no PAA DC-4 to get them out. Would really appreciate someone doing a PAA repaint for that era so I can get everyone home. Than I need the UAL repaint to get them from KSFO back home to New York (PAA was not authorized to fly passengers between these cities in 1947).
Thank you very much.

If I had to guess, it would be Hellenikon Airport (LGAT) before the east international terminal was built (between 1960 and 1969).

The old OA logo (with the iconic bird) was phased out around 1958-59 with the newer Olympic circles.
