C47-D-Flottille 56S nr 87 1.0

C47-D-Flottille 56S nr 87, livery by Leen "Flybike" de Jager

This repaint is inspired by the French Navy livery for the C47 D It depicts ( more or less ) the nr 87 at the end of its career with the 52S Flottille.

Unless her age, she was a reliable workhorse.

These days she doesn't fly anymore but she still exists, standing at the entrance of the Nimes Naval base.

As I wanted to give an over-all impression of the bird I aimed my brushes on the outside and to the interior, including the panel and cockpit as well.

Did some additional bumpmapping (editing the normals accordingly the changes to the exterior).

At the last moment a found a French crew, willing to fly this bird to you.

Merci beaucoup mes amis

I hope you`ll all enjoy this skin as much as I enjoyed making it.
