DC-3 "El canela" (Cinnamon)

Italeri 1/72 DC-3 'El canela' (the cinnamon one) 

She was the first presidential aircraft in Chile (1947) and got that name after the standard interior color in civilian planes by Douglas in that era. There are few pictures at present times, but is known that the motto was scripted besides a small chilean flag on port side under pilot window. On the fuselage, both sides, over the windows was the legend 'Presidente de la República'. 

The very first scheme she dressed was overall natural metal finish. Later, at the end of forties or beginning the fifties Chilean Air Force unified painting schemes of all transport planes with white paint on the upper side of fuselage and a dark blue ribbon all across the windows.

I can't resist to recreate the initial NMF of this beauty. The result, OK... thanks to the impressive 1/72th Italeri kit. I'd utilize the very good Testors transparent decal set to design my own decals.

I'm learning to take pictures...soon, expect to improve the quality of that photos.
Cheers,
