Description
With Panair's wings!
My intention is to recreate the painting of the DC6-B PP-LFA "Bandeirante Bartolomeu Bueno de Siqueira" operated by Panair do Brasil as realistic as possible. However I can't find enough references and I still have some doubts about colors and details.
Checking photos of the Constellations and DC-7 contemporaries to the DC-6 as well as videos and movies like "Shut up Etelvina" that briefly show Panair's 1958 ground equipment and probably a DC-6 (Or DC-7) and updated the ladder and the tow truck. The Constellation with similar scheme had a matt black nose, and I assumed the same pattern was used on the DC-6.
Added the siblings PP-LFB "Bandeirante Fernando de Camargo", PP-LFC "Bandeirante Francisco Dias Ávila", PP-LFD "Bandeirante Gardia de Ávila", in addition to the previous PP-LFA "Bartolomeu Bueno de Siqueira" which continues as main file.
I hope to keep this painting updated and I appreciate if anyone can send me photos and historical references of this plane. Hope it's on the "Panair standard".
History of the PP-LFA (Cn 45527/1017):
Delivered from the factory in 1958, briefly operated by Loide Aéreo Nacional and then leased with great success by Panair do Brasil from 1958 to 1961. From the same year the LFA operated both as passenger and freighter transport at VASP until the first half of the 70s and ended his career flying in Bolivia in the mythical Butcher Flights for La Cumbre with the registration CP-1283 probably between 1982 and 1987, and since then he has been at El Alto airport, slowly deteriorating outside.

Nas asas da Panair!
Minha intencao é recriar a pintura do DC6-B PP-LFA "Bandeirante Bartolomeu Bueno de Siqueira" operado pela Panair do Brasil com a maior fidelidade possível. No entanto nao encontro referencias suficientes e ainda tenho muitas duvidas sobre cores e detalhes.
Utilizei fotos dos Constellations e DC-7 contemporaneos aos DC-6, videos de época e filmes como o "Cala a boca Etelvina" que mostram brevemente o equipamento de solo da Panair em 1958 e provavelmente um DC-6 (Ou DC-7) e atualizei a escada e o tow truck. O constellation com mesma pintura possuia um nariz preto fosco, e assumi que o mesmo padrao foi utilizado no DC-6.
Adicionadas as outras matrículas PP-LFB "Bandeirante Fernando de Camargo", PP-LFC "Bandeirante Francisco Dias Ávila", PP-LFD "Bandeirante Gardia de Ávila", em adicao ao anterio PP-LFA "Bartolomeu Bueno de Siqueira" que continua como principal.
Espero manter essa pintura atualizada e agradeco se puderem me enviar fotos e referencias historicas desse aviao. Espero que esteja no "padrao Panair".
História do PP-LFA (Cn 45527/1017):

PMDG DC-6B & DC-6A - VASP
VASP bought Loide and began operating it´s fleet, this time naming them on their own as DC6 "C", and christening the LFA as "Amazonas". During the 60s they were mainly kept with the paint we see in this version, operating purely with passenger transport. From 1969, with the arrival of the 737s, the DC-6s were converted into freighters (Standard "A") and kombi (Passengers + Cargo, official variant of the Douglas "C"), but the company continued with the marketing denomination of "DC-6C" also for the pure freighters (like LFA).

PMDG DC-6B - Cruzeiro
Even though Cruzeiro never flew DC-6, this iconic airline had some beatiful liveries that fit the 6s well. In this pack i´ve included the scheme used in the DC3s by Cruzeiro as the main file, second the NAMC YS-11 (nicknamed in Brazil "Samurai"), the third being the beautifull scheme used for the Caravelles and the fourth the scheme that was used across the boeings the airline had (727s and 737).

PMDG DC-6B - Real Aerovias
Real Aerovias operated the Douglas DC-6 PP-YSI, PP-YSJ, PP-YSL, originally from SAS and also PP-YSM and PP-YSN, originally from Northwest. They flew with Real for a short period, as they began service in 1961, the same year that Real Aerovias was absorbed by Varig following years of a serious financial crisis in Real. As was customary at the time, Real called their DC-6B "Super DC-6B", a designation that never really existed.

PMDG DC-6B - Cruzeiro do Sul - PP-CCI
Inspired in the DC-4 operated by Cruzeiro do Sul in the begining of the de-germanization of the companz leaving the Syndicato Condor years behind, when most of the Fokkers and Junkers were being replaced by american machines. Before setting with the white/blue livery that was one of the symbols of this airline, thez had a rather simple bare metal in the Douglas DC-4 that flew in prospection routes between US and Brazil, before the Douglas were replaced by Convairs CV-340. Here depicted as the PP-CCI "Sirius".
