Hi,

That is nice, very nice .

Is it a texture you will be posting?

Andy.

Thank you. I'll be posting it after a few more texture adjustments. I'm still trying to see what is painted on the tail between "U S Mail and Air Express".

Hi Gary,

Wow, that looks wonderful.

Here's a pic:



The words on the tail read:

N90891 (from a later picture than the one above)

U.S. MAIL
A.M. 31-39
F.A.M. 32
AIR EXPRESS

Air Mail route 31 was Daytona Beach to Miami, FL
Air Mail route 39 was Jacksonville, FL to New Orleans, LA
Foreign Air Mail route 32 was (I assume) the route to Havana (opened in 1946).

Some images appear to delete the periods but that's hard to see.

The DC-6 when delivered was known as the "Buccaneer 400", with a logo just to the rear of the front emblem:



Hope this helps,

One tiny thing - you have NC on the wings, but only N on the vertical tail.

Take care,

Wow!

Thanks again Tom. Your pictures solved my problems perfectly. I'll finish and upload shortly. Thanks again.

Gary
