Looking for paint color suggestions for DC-3

Thanks John

That is the look I'm going for, would you happen to know if that plane used the Clear Base (ALC303) or Gloss Black Base (ALC304)? And if it used a Klear Kote Gloss (ALC310) or Aqua Gloss Clear (ALC600) to apply the decals?

Thanks and take care,

RD

Leading Edge decals made a 1/72 set if you can find it. If you trust, you can pull matches.

I can't quite make out the cheat lines- they look like two black over red.

Johns right, or at least tomato red. Definitely has some yellow in it.

I have always liked this bird in Aluminum and the markings of either American( Red over Metal/ Blue trim stripes.) or Capitol (White Top to the window tops and Blue stripe at windows/ and silver everwhere else!

 I think though that red will require a white basecoat to look right!

I'm with Don on the Alclad.  The tail looks more like international orange to me.  This the tiny 1/200 Hasegawa kit in Alclad airframe aluminum

I'd use Alclad aluminum for the natural aluminum.  Any white or black would work.  Not sure on red.
