Great paint, shame about the livery...

The painting is done very well, but the colour scheme! - it's even worse than that MiG at Nowra

[Ian Warren]

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

They had two running late 1948/9 to early 1950s to fill in the gap , leased they were.

A C-47 C-46 competition ... I do wonder if the Commando .. Like the name , I keep thinking of the movie with Arnie .. and a Goose.

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

[Ian Warren]

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.

I do like the dragon

[Ian Warren]

Lucky they don't put each flight under or beside it like kill markings
