This is a sheet designed for the Heller C-118B/DC-6B. In order to properly represent the aircraft on the sheet, if you are starting with the DC-6B kit, some modifications are needed in terms of filling in windows and scribing in cargo doors are needed, but they are not beyond the abilities of most modelers. The C-118 kit requires no modifications.

Both of the aircraft are in the standard transport scheme of the time with natural metal overall except for the upper fuselage which is white. As time passed, the metal portions on some of these planes was painted light gull grey

The first option is the station aircraft of NAS Keflavik in 1984

The other is from the Fleet Marine Force Atlantic.

Either one will make into a superb looking model and if you wish to see what the Keflavik option looks like on the model, visit this link.
