Mike .. Its the blend of colour .. the look now I missed the 'Mig' at Nowra or did I :unsure: Were they keeping that away from me :unsure: , the ole C-46 , now thats one that requires a serious FSX rebuild ... tho the freeware Dak incoming will do the trick B-)

At least the CAT livery shown in Paul's link looks half-decent...but pink, with a light brown cheatline? BLERRGH!!

That livery was also worn on the Convair 880's or close to it , still having the Chinese Dragon on the nose, typical feature in the 1960s.
