Some What Ifs

When it comes to "light twins" hauling cargo, the Curtiss C-46 is a long time favorite here. Some time ago, I had the itch to paint some Commandos in civil paint schemes. But most of the "real" ones had already been done. So I did some what if paints...

Hey Willy, again thanks for painting my favorite airline texture! We had a great time flying these planes on one of our junkets. :encouragement:
 
Very nice! What model is that?

It's the freeware California Classic's C-46. Very nice and was one of the first FS9 aircraft I ported over. I'm thinking of redoing these paints as 2048 dds and releasing them. I've got the orignal bitmaps I worked with stashed somewheres.

Taco, I've been working on the DC-7 freighter conversion this morning. Got a quite a bit of progress done on it between "breaks". But with that latest panel, I'm probably gonna have to relearn how to fly it. There's some engine killing gauges in it as I rudely discovered on a test flight this morning.
