Hello again there guys

I have made once again a repaint and this time of the excellent ex-payware Alpha Simulations Sikorsky S-55 now freeware. This repaint is of a SAAF Sikorsky S-55C, A5 (c/n 55-950) in some early 1957 colour scheme. In 1954 two S-55Cs had been ordered for the SAAF. In July 1956 the S-55s was shipped to Cape Town and assembled at AFS Ysterplaat. After assembly, additional markings were added including Springbok roundels, each side of the upper fuselage and one on the belly. A Yellow band 36 inch long at the tail rotor with the words Danger and Gevaar witha red arrow. The serial numbers were added on the tailboom and nose following the S-51 serials (A1-A3) an were A4(22-959) and A5(22-950).

I have included a few screenshots below to show you how the repaint look:

And as always I hope you guys like it and once again any feedback is welcome :welcome:
 
Thanx for all the positive comments guys, really appreciate it! I have found one more photo of a SAAF S-55C in Orange dayglo colours also A5, will pop that one out in the next day or two! I have also done A4, the same colours etc, just a different number but then both S-55Cs of the SAAf will be in the air:wiggle:

Paularx, thanx for the afrikaans boet, makes me proud of being a South African:woot:
 
Ohh just forgot, the repaint was uploaded at www.flightsim.com this morning at around 02:00am South African time, so I guess its up to the guys at flightsim.com to update their server or database then:typing:
