They look stunning Tony. Great work mate. Could I be a cheeky little rascal and suggest one paint scheme in particular?

One Aircraft thats close to my heart. Sadly it crashed in my hometown in 1967 on approach to Ringway. (EGCC)

*PS - I knows its a C-4 not strictly a DC-4. Still a classic brit that Jens has modelled

There are still quite a few C4's for the VA that need paints? I would love to see those. However only if you wish and have the time.

A couple of comments:

Starways always seemed to be a darker blue than shown on your screenshot - I know it was along time ago but I'm sure my memory isn't that far wrong.

And for the BM repaint, won't those textures fit on the actual machine (the Argonaut)? Looking at the paint kits, the names of the files are similar. Have you tried seeing if they fit after some renaming? Bear in mind that this is just an idea but alternatively you can endure Garry's wrath :lol:
