August 21, 20214 yr Painting this one for my Air Force friends....took her on a "paint inspection" flight from KMIA to KTPA (that is my excuse to actually fly the planes I paint, LOL) Just picked up LatinVFR's KMIA....great scenery! I used the blue airplane logo on the stadium for IFR guidance (I Fly Rotundas) LOL Gentle turn (always fly this beast gently, esp in turns) to get on course to Tampa.... See ya' Miami! Beautiful sunrise.... She's a photogenic 'Gal! 🙂 Same angle a bit later in the morning Close up of the other side... About to head over the Everglades.... LOVE the wing views on this aircraft! There is St. Pete off to my left. On short final....Tampa skyline in the distance Just about to touch down... Taxiing off the active.... Parked at the ramp. You can see the details I've added to the props....Hamilton-Standard logos, dirt and wear, prop hub, and even the serial numbers on the blades. As far as I know....I've been the only painter to add a very important part to the engines, does anyone know what it is based on the screen below? 🙂 Hope to have this one up to flightsim.to soon® You can pick up her Navy Sister here: https://flightsim.to/file/19059/pmdg-dc-6a-us-navy-vr53-131594 I love this plane...and I never thought I would. Didn't think it would be my cup of tea, but the more "paint inspection flights" I take her on, the more I'm hooked. She had limited fame in past platforms...I feel she was MADE for MSFS. This is a plane you truly "Fly" and manage the systems....not, V1, Rotate, LNAV, VNAV, calc TOD, leave the 'pit until TOD, mow the lawn, walk the dog, etc (C'mon, I know you ALL do it on those long flights in modern aviation marvels! LOL). Regards, Steve DraGet my paints for MSFS planes at flightsim.to here, and iFly 737s hereDownload my FSX, P3D paints at Avsim by clicking here

LOL....I throw you guys a bone every once in a while (some AF pukes are actually okay guys!). Sadly, Drabek Industries was gobbled up in a hostile takeover years ago by corporate raiders who broke up the company and sold off the pieces. 😞 Once the mighty and omnipotent CEO and CPO (Chief Painting Officer)...I'm now in charge of a one-man painting team who works for a coffee shop who also sells flightsim paints in the back room sweatshop of the building. Sorry...gotta' run....the ringy thing above the door just dinged....someone is craving a Late'. 😧 If you head over to the link for my Navy paint....you'll see the "Buy me a Coffee" link...that is our coffee shop. I get .04% of the proceeds for each sale, and if I sell 10 paints, I get a free Expresso! 😏 Regards, Steve DraGet my paints for MSFS planes at flightsim.to here, and iFly 737s hereDownload my FSX, P3D paints at Avsim by clicking here

I "could" imagine it Rick. 🙂 Question is: Do you have the MSFS DC-6? Pending answer could change "imagine" to "in the paint hangar".😉 (Already have the one I'd want to paint in mind, unless you'd have a different one) 2 hours ago, Phantom88 said: ***I Like Shiny Things*** You can't fool me Patrick!

Hey Rick....I'm gonna pass on fictionals at this time. I know there was a VIP livery similar to AF One, and there is already one painted. I'll take a look at this one when I'm done with the 63rd MAW. http://1000aircraftphotos.com/Contributions/McKillop/6220.htm In the mean time...check your inbox. 😉 @pinlifter, Hey Chris, if you have MSFS and the DC-6 let me know and I'll send the beta your way too. 😉 Edited August 22, 20214 yr by Steve Dra Regards, Steve DraGet my paints for MSFS planes at flightsim.to here, and iFly 737s hereDownload my FSX, P3D paints at Avsim by clicking here

August 26, 20214 yr Beautiful work, Steve...!! And, it's nice that you're able to (occasionally) break free from the painters' confinement...🙂...and take advantage of the, so-called, "paint inspection" flights....you need no excuse, Steve, to do so...🙂...
