Hi Lee,
This is the radar nose L-49 beta, but it has not been released yet.

QUISQUEYANA - AEROVIAS NAC1ONALES QUISQUEYANA Quisqueyana was formed in Sep 1962 with one DC-3 and various light aircraft. The company operated non-scheduled cargo and passenger flights, with a second DC-3 being added shortly afterwards. On 9 Aug 1963, the company was incorporated under the title Aerovias Nacionales Quisqueyana. C-46s were added to the fleet in 1964, and a three-year permit to operate scheduled passenger and cargo services from Santo Domingo to San Juan (Puerto Rico) and cargo flights to Miami, Florida, was granted by the CAB on 24 Apr 1966. Scheduled passenger flights with the DC-3s were operated from Santo Domingo to Santiago (Dominican Republic), Aruba, Curacao and Port-au-Prince. The cargo service to Miami was never actually operated. In Dec 1966 a L-749A Constellation was purchased and the following month an 049 leased, shortly after which scheduled passenger flights between Santo Domingo and San Juan were started. A second 749A was added to the fleet later in 1967. From Dec 1967, there was a daily scheduled flight for cargo, and a limited number of passengers, on the route. During the following years, Quisqueyana built up the Santo Domingo-San Juan route to a daily passenger service, as well as regular cargo schedules, and also served Santiago with the Constellations by 1971. A third 749A was acquired in Apr 1971, and the CAB permit was renewed indefinitely from 8 Apr 1971. The company also flew passenger and freight charters around the Caribbean and to South America, while inclusive tours to Haiti were flown with the Constellations from time to time. Passenger authorization was added to the Miami route during Sep 1973. There were plans at the time to lease two DC-8s for weekly round trips to Miami from Santo Domingo With the withdrawal of Quisqueyana permit by the Dominican civil aviation authorities to fly passengers in the Constellations in Jan 1978, Quisqueyana flew the world's last scheduled Constellation passenger flights on 19 January 1978 from Santo Domingo to San Juan and return with L-749A HI-207 and 049 HI-270. The other 049 had been withdrawn in Oct 1977 and, after operating the final passenger flight, the second 049 was also withdrawn. Quisqueyana continued its passenger flights to San Juan with a leased Martin 404, but the proposed lease of a CV-880 fell through. The 749A soldiered on, flying cargo services on an irregular' basis to San Juan, and the last flight took place on 27 Apr 1978 from Santo Domingo to San Juan and return. Quisqueyana ceased operations the following month, with the three remaining Constellations being taken over as part payment for the debts owed by the airline. The two 049s were scrapped at Santo Domingo, while the 749A was restored to flying condition in 1979, but was subsequently grounded. cn/2070 was built as an L-049-46-26 and delivered to KLM as PH-TAW in 1946 and sold to TWA in 1950. It flew with several US carriers before joining Quisqueyana. She was withdrawn from use in 1977 and used for spares and eventually scrapped in 1980. Repaint is circa 1974, a bit weathered from flying in the Caribbean. and fresh from the paint shop: and when it was bought by Native Missionary in 1971
