DC-4 a little different

[fubarmodelyard]

Way back Santa Fe attempted to start a cargo service. they were moderately successful with some DC-3's and then larger and faster DC-4's. While waiting on a permit to carry general cargo they were allowed to move only what the railroad depots needed. after nearly a year of on time and a perfect safety record Santa Fe Skyway was denied the permit to become a general cargo service and sold off the airline division. there's an excellent video on YouTube if you want the complete story

Thanks Al. I find it an interesting what could have been story. I'm still amazed that someone makes decals for a forgotten part of history

 

[fubarmodelyard]

Yay decals. these are actually pretty darn good. they're from an outfit called Vintage Flyer and they are very easy to work with. if you need any aircraft decals look em up
