Buffalo C-GPNR ("Buffalo-Joe" McBryan`s favorit plane) for the LES DC3/C47

Probably the most famous flying C47 these days, we even can say she is a movie-star.

Making a repaint wich already exists is always tricky , people start to compare and gues which one is the best.
Be assured I do not like to see it as a competition.
Even more tricky is making a repaint based on a default livery wich comes with the aircraft ,

Normally I do not make paints on request , let alone ,one based on an existing defeault livery..

For this "movie-star" I am happy to make an exception.


Taking the default LES DC3 in its default Buffalo livery to start with was quiet logic.
In the end not much of this original livery has left the way it was , shapes were changed , text reshaped and logos reversed.
Neverteless there are some lines and shapes wich I did not enterely by myself.

My main goal was to reproduce a C-GPNR wich comes as close to reality as I am abble to make it.
Big problem is the fact the plane changed its looks so many times ( as all pretty girls do ) , its hard to tell exactly how and what.

Outside made close to reality.
Cockpit colors giving a C-GPNR experience.
Cabin ,giving a Buffalo-Air feeling.

I hope you`ll enjoy this flying legend.

Did you ever solve that propeller logo issue?  Even I did a lot of googling and came up with nothing.

Looks great anyway.

No the guy did not even answer my mail.

No big deal.

 

Thanks for the compliment
