Due to it´s wartime contribution service, the Texas based Braniff was granted in 1946 with routes to the Caribbean, Mexico, Central and South America (routes that were exclusive for Panagra´s El Pacificos until then). The DC-6, nicknamed "El Conquistador" were used for the long distance routes, specially to Rio and Buenos Aires.
As it was part of Braniff´s DNA, they showed beautifull and flashy liveries, being the early one available in this version my favourite with a lot of colors over a polished metal fuselage and eventually a painted white roof.
For the second livery used by Braniff on th DC-6 check here, for the Braniff Freighter check here.
