My dear fellow bush aviators!

Following some suggestions at calclassics
http://calclassic.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=gotopost&board=general&thread=3342&post=30034

the MAAM Goon joins my paint shed once again.

Just uploaded to the usual places:
Northwest Territorial Airways DC-3, depicting C-GWIR (now serving with BUFFALO) of NWT Airways in its 1986 livery.

Nearing some final fiddling:
Air North's C-GZOF "Klondike Explorer"

We have a couple of Basler's hanging around Yellowknife at the east ramp far end. They also operate out of Inuvik and Iqaluit. Sadly only FSX has the BT-67.

?North-Wright?

North-Wright is Twotters and Islanders and C185's out of Norman Wells and Inuvik. I dont recall any DC-3's in there Fleet. Kenn Borek does but that's the BT-67's. Only DC-3 based operator left here in NWT is Buffalo also our only L188 operator and C-46, DC4.
 
Turbine Goon? No way!

@ Claudius:
Some things better remain unpainted - and a blasphemy like a turbine-fitted Gooney is such thing... :bump:

Cheers,
Markus.
 
Thanks, mate!

Final fixes done:

You'd better not try to open the port side pax or cargo door:
It's just painted on, since the model has the right hand pax door!


ETA: Mañana...
 
Well, guys:
I think this is it!

Just did some final check flights above Glacier Bay and Tongass Fjords and would like to share those quite contemplative moments with you.

I'd like to express my deep gratitude to Holger Sandmann and crew for giving us those amazing landscapes to soar above and to Pablo "Captain-of-the-Clouds" Diaz for his awesome cloud and dawn textures!


Now I just have to write the readme file and pack her.
Should be available in a few hours...

Have fun!

Cheers,
Markus.
 
Marcus,

Thank you so much for continually sharing your talents and embellishing our FS worlds with great liveries for great aircraft. They are gifts that keep on giving. :applause:
 
I feel highly honoured by your kind words, Milton! :salute:

But I simply can't overemphasise the fact that it's master-builders like you who keep our flightsim world alive. Painters like me just smash some layers of paint upon your masterpieces!

Modelers and FDE geeks could get along without repainters - but what would we blotted paint guys do without you...?

Cheers,
Markus.

You are too modest Markus; do not sell yourself short.

We provide the canvass but you guys bring life, interest, and longevity to the product.

I salute all texture artists with humbleness and respect. :salute: :applause:
