FS2004 Repaint

FS2004 Pan Am Douglas DC-3

Pan American Airways textures give the default Douglas DC-3 a 1942-era Pan Am look, evoking the airline’s historic fleet of around 90 aircraft while keeping period-appropriate markings and paint details. Designed for FS2004, the repaint requires the stock DC-3 model and delivers an authentic vintage airliner presence in the virtual cockpit and exterior.

I should point out that this repaint is not totally accurate. The default DC3 does not have both right and left wing bmps nor does it have both right and left side rudder bmps therefore it is not possible to add serial numbers or airline logo on the wings or rudder. The livery is accurate in other respects. I hope you enjoy my repaint.
