Belvedere?

Sorry about the Belvedere, I thought that the second visual clue looked somewhat like the part that carried the rear rotor (rear rotor pylon?) and stuck up like a fixed wing aircraft fin, I forgot that the new acft is to CNB.

Having seen that tip, I am going for a C-117 'Super' Dakota , not been done before and I think used by the US in Germany for years.

Wish it was a Belvedere

Hmm, non British and not on airliners. net cannot be much that fits that bill that uses a VOR aerial. I see where the turboprop DC3 comes from, but I think not. How about a I.A. 50 Guarani II

Didn't that one get the Ito treatment?

Nope the 117 features at airliners.net

Not sure about the deice boot either it appears to extend over the control surface

Here is Today's Tiny Texture Teaser:



Do keep thinking out loud ...

Incidentally, some very interesting potential modelling projects have been mentioned here.

See you tomorrow when I'll give you all of one propblade, maybe.

It's definitely the early '60s livery which means it must be one of the following -

Convair 340
Convair 440
DC-3
DC-7B
DC-6
or
Viscount 810

There are no photos of the DC-7B on Airliner's during that time, so I'm guessing that's what he's done. Only problem is that I'm not aware of there ever being black leading edges on any DC-7s.

Chris, I think that list is called 'hedging your bets' but you are on the right track!

Dang, this is tough! Is it a Nord 262?
