Douglas C-47 v3 Livery Thread

[olderndirt]

Can anybody please paint on C-47 this Wien Alaska livery as seen on this photo? Unfortunately, there is NO known color photo for that but it is based on Nationwide Airlines livery. Thanks for any help. Notice full words Wien Alaska Airline.

Regards,

Aharon

From what I've seen in a much smaller photo, the dark areas are dark blue - nose, upper fuselage and upper vertical tail are white and the lettering, numbers and wing flash behind cockpit are yellow/gold. Wings, horizontal tail and belly are aluminum.

Thanks, Olderndirt!! That will be a great help to any talented livery painter who wants to take up on this livery.

I have a question about the Piedmont repaint (which I love, by the way). Although the nose of this plane is blue, when I see the nose from the cockpit, it is brown, not blue. Does anybody know why this is and how to fix it? I followed the instructions during installation. By the way, I am using the black cockpit if that makes a difference. Thanks.

I found the same thing on the Frontier repaint...is there a new texture file for that?

Thanks,

This is how she looks as of now. I ended up using a USAAF stencil that looks like a good match.
Still need to do the alpha and and a few other things before she is done.

[Christoph_T]

Yes, I have tried it and I like it

If you want to have a version1.2 lets do it together when the winter has arrived.
Than I can try to help you with Gimp. Eventhough I have only scratched the tip of the iceberg of this tool...

My old man was Army Signals...in WW2...New Guinea and Crete ....intercepting 'Jerry' transmissions.....then about 30 years in DCA around Oz before retiring and becoming a Ham....VK3-DEK ...

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. Cool that you recognized the "Jimmy" cap badge. I was in for 10 years in the 80s and 90s. Loved my time in the Army, overall.

Looking forward to whatever you end up doing.

Cheers!

Thanks...I used the one for AA (which I had not flown with yet) but none of the others are the right color for Frontier.

Time for some fun....
Reason Qantas is well and truly in the black these days.....they dusted off some old planes ....

Hello all. This is literally my first ever post here on SOH, just looking through all of these wonderful liveries (well downloading half of them as well). I was wondering if anybody is working on a Colombian Aliansa Livery (white upper fuselage with green cheat line). If not I could be persuaded to have a go, although I have no FSX painting experience, I have done some liveries for racing sims such as GTR2 and rFactor in the past, which will hopefully transfer somehow.

 

[Jafo]

Much more fun [read - easier] doing "what if"s ...

Thanks...that worked great. You even held rivet definitions very well.
