Skymaster Roll Out
Posted: Sun May 20, 2012 2:15 pmI just finished a bare metal repaint (?) for Jens Kristensen's C-54 Skymaster.
She cleans up pretty good, doesn't she?
Actually, the bare aluminum is done, but it's really just a base for some other paints.
I want to do some late '40s paints (think Berlin Airlift) for the old gal.
I figured that the best way was to start with a clean airplane and then weatherize.
Wanted y'all to have a look at her factory roll out before she puts on her uniform and starts rolling around in coal dust.
