The Great Silver Fleet - Eastern in Silver Now Available

Post by Warbirds »

A2A Constellation Eastern NC108A in silver livery. Eastern used model L-649's which are beefed up L-049's but look the same. NC108A was the second Connie Eastern bought in 1947.
This download comes with the NC108A livery and a custom Eastern style cockpit with optional Eastern girly pinup. Also included is my optional modded larger volume startup smoke file.

Now available at SOH library and Avsim library and Flightsim.com - search for exact phrase "Paul Grubich" to see my current paints.

Absolutely brilliant, Paul! Probably the best repaint I've seen for the Connie yet.

Paul,
Gorgeous! The cockpit interior really brings back the feel of the late 40's and early 50's. So now I fly the great silver fleet all over, but when I am ready to go south I fly it into Midway and head to the Caribbean in your C&S Connie.

Still looking for some period scenery for the Memphis Airport.

Thanks, I found a photo online showing those seat covers in a Connie and thought they really had that early 50's look so decided to use them for the Eastern.

I added a pinup but forgot to mention in the install notes where to find it when in the cockpit so if you install it you will see it in the radio opts area.
