Barents Sea (Barents Zee) in the "Candy Wrapper" scheme. The KLM DC-7s wore three liveries, this is the second overall, but first "candy wrapper" style. Original aircraft by Greg Pepper and Tom Gibson. Requires Calclassic DC-7C package. Repaint by Dan McManus.

Thank you for downloading! These are 32bit 1024 textures for the Greg Pepper and Tom Gibson DC-7C package available here and hosted at Cal Classic. If the 32bit format causes a FPS hit or appear blurry or distorted go to the texture folder and move the files dc7_leftaft_t, dc7_leftfwd_t.bmp, dc7_rtaft_t and dc7_rtfwd_t into the "Hide" Folder, then replace them with the ones from the DXT3 folder. To restore them just reverse the process.

Thank you Greg Pepper, Tom Gibson, and Jens Kristensen for the OUTSDANDING work you do and for allowing us to enjoy and repaint it!

description=DC-7C PH-DSR Barents Sea (Barents Zee) in the late fiftes "Candy Wrapper" scheme. The DC-7C was a complete redesign abandoning the wing of the DC-4 allowing a further substantial increase in fuel and oil capacity. Updated engines gave slightly more power for take off and climb, but since the DC-7C was 17,000lbs heavier than the DC-7B performance was significantly reduced.
