Looking for "Deutsche Flugdienst" repaints

[chris13]

Hello,

I really need your help:
I´m looking for two repaints of the Deutsche Flugdienst. A Vickers Viking and a Convair 240.
Do this repaint exist?

If not, can some do one of this for me?
I can give you pictures!

You would really help me

Pics of the Vikings are here in case someone wants to paint one:

Looks like the Standard Condor/Lufthansa blue paint job with simple Flugdienst titles. (Deutsche Flugdienst became Condor in 1961).

Here is the 240 - looks like Lufthansa with different titles and logo:

Hope this helps,

Wow, great film. Thanks Wolfgang.

Yes, it is a great film. I noticed at the end, that the 440 did not use any flaps for takeoff.

Indeed a great movie and all the Connies in it are just the perfect icing on the cake. ;D ;D .....I almost did not see any Convairs, Caravelles and Viscounts.....Connie Fever.

That multi window bus would fetch a pretty nice penny even in todays deflated markets.
My buddy has a crew-cab flat bed version of the same year. It is a hoot to drive....except for freeways when they are not jammed up as the top speed is 63 mph. And when the roads are clear here in SoCal that's way too slow to be dirving among the cell-phone, coffee and newspaper crowd

My uncle in Modena did (with my unenthusiastic help) a house move (all the furniture, kitchen sink included, and not as a figure of speech) from a side of the city to the other, with one of those a friend of him lent him. ;D

I remember driving it. It was old, used and abused, but still had a kick in its engine (useful to transport up to more than 2 tons moving furniture at once).
