This TAA livery was current in the 1950s and into the 1960s as one of two major domestic airlines in Australia. The airline was later absorbed into the Qantas Group, and no longer flies in these or any other colours.
Sadly, PMDG did not release any airline liveries from down under with this magnificent aircraft, so I figured someone needed to rectify that! Along with other painters doing Pacific rim airlines, I have done just that, and this livery has now been joined by one each of Ansett and TEAL liveries.
The first two images in the collection here show the updated registration numbers and some of the ground equipment. Enjoy!
Simply unzip the ptp file from this zip file, and install with the PMDG Operations Centre as is usual with PMDG products!
Great livery, but could you fix the textures on the nose?

Hi Captain, I'm not sure what you want fixed, so perhaps you could be more specific. However one very important caveat is that any alterations will be on a time and priority basis. I have a critically ill grand daughter, a fraught and over-worked daughter, and a small business to run, so fixing a freebie livery I did more than a year ago has to be lower on the priority list - sorry! If I get time to look at it I will, but cannot promise anything. Cheers!

Thanks for this Mate, brings back memories (well was on DC-4's I think but close.
Is your update made to match the new version (2.0.28)
P.S. I have just checked and the livery screen comes up Black now, so I'm guessing you will have to modify your mod for the new version.

My repaints have all been working fine with that version of the DC-6, and I'm downloading the 2.0.32 as I write. I will check it out with this version if I have any blank livery screens, but if you reinstall from your download file it should work.

I've been busy doing custom requests ever since the DC-6 was released, but if you want a custom job done, I can add you to the end of my queue!

this looks so good, and I really appreciate your changing of the registration to a real one. Beautifully done.
No wonder so many have downloaded this livery!

Anything is possible!! I've been very busy doing custom requests for the DC-6 and had only planned on these three freebies with fictional registration because while the liveries are very close to the real thing, they're not as perfect as I would like when doing a real-world paint. Send me a direct message if you would like that done and I will see when I have some time to look at it!

Thank you - glad you are enjoying these! I am doing custom liveries for DC-6 airliners for airlines in all parts and simmers all around the world, but most are private requests and will not be published. If there is any that you want, send me a direct message.

Fantastic, saw one of these take-off from Perth Airport in the early 60s, before the 727-100s serviced the Eastern States. Well done mate!

Thanks mate, you've done a bang up job and corrected an oversight of the PMDG team by not including Australian repaints!

Thank you! I saw that as a glaring oversight too!
