Holes in Time
This is the first of my favorite design ...the many paint schemes worn by the same aircraft over its lifetime. In this case, Douglas Aircraft serial number 2145 was built in 1939 and continues to fly today, so she's a ripe 85 years old.

Pond's Navy
When collector Robert Pond acquired MSN 2145 in 1989, he had her painted to resemble the scheme applied to U.S. Navy aircraft during the beginning of World War II. Her nickname, "Miss Angela" honors his granddaughter (and was later applied to a Boeing B-17).

Boss Bird Mark II
For reasons by owner John David Tinsley (of Tinsley's Chicken 'n rolls fame), he had MSN 2145 reregistered and her paint scheme altered, mainly replacing the tail logo upon the tail.

Maximized Chicken Monger
Douglas MSN 2145's twelfth owner was John David Tinsley of Huntsville, Texas. He had her painted as the unique Boss Bird to promote his 50+ restaurants known as "Tinsley's Chicken 'n rolls".

Building a Legacy
This is the second of nine members planned for the upcoming "Legacy of Liveries #1: Manufacturer's Serial Number 2145" group composition. This design targets a single aircraft and depicts the different paint schemes worn by it over time.

Your Out of Order!
The next, quickest, fleet to be produced are a batch of 19 employed by airlines during the 1950s and 1960s. DC-3 fans love the unique and colorful styles of paint applied during this time period. Some company names are long gone, some merged, and some are still around.
I'm still not selling anything yet, as I work out the nuances of taxes and shipping.

The other Maximizer: Northeast Airlines N44992 circa 1964
Northeast Airlines' Ship Number 92 was a DC-3A converted from a former USAAF C-53 built in 1943. Northeast was her third owner, after United Airlines sold her to them in 1953.

To the Max: Air France F-BEIY circa 1963
Working to complete the next Fleet of Fancy, the last two members needed the aforementioned speed kit parts, but in the "Maximizer" variety. Air France was a fan of this modification and applied it to many in their fleet.

While waiting for additional art supplies, I embarked on creating additional parts for the 3D model. Many Douglas DC-3's were modified with "speed kits" to improve their performance, with the most significant improvement realized with the addition of doors to cover the semi-exposed wheels. The image shows how the "Maximizer" brand doors look in the their opened position.

The image compares the before and after of a typical cargo door. I just finished updating the fourth of 67 ...so it's going to take a while to complete this sweep. Totally worth the trouble and time to make the replicas even better!
