Re: 1/144 Minicraft Douglas DC-6B
Looking good! I was actually thinking about the decals for use on an old Aurora Orion III Space Clipper model, heh! The decal sheet looks good, too. Is there a flight deck or is that area empty?
Make more models!

Nothing in the cockpit - silly bulkhead and floor. Thats okay as I'll be using a decal for the windows. Beautiful airplane - especially in PanAm livery.
Thanks,

Very nice! Are you planning to go with Pan Am or SAS markings?

I really like the vintage bird in Pan Am, though I have some old American Airlines decals coming which look pretty nice as well.Stikpusher wrote: ↑Fri Jan 16, 2026 9:38 pm Very nice! Are you planning to go with Pan Am or SAS markings?
AlI sealed up - typical Minicraft. Not terrible, not great. I added a feature - movable ballast. Truth: the fishing sinkers came unglued after I sealed her up

American Airline decals on order

Pan Am

Thanks,
John

Very nice choice! I want to say that my dad worked briefly for American Airlines back in the 50’s before he went to work for TWA. I’m a fan of TWA markings myself having grown up around that Airline. But I do like the look of their rival, Pan Am. One of the classics.
