| Repaint of payware Red Wing L-1049G Super Constellation.
This repaint shows Qantas L-1049G named Southern Horizon of the year 1960. Delivered in 1955 as a 1049E, c/n 4581. Converted to 1049G with tip tanks in April 1958, then had a freight door installed in June 1960. Withdrawn from use 1962 and used as a static classroom at Sydney Airport with engines removed.
Back in flying conditions in 1964, aircraft was used as cargo ship for several companies from Miami for service in Middle and South America until Lanzair (Channel Islands) leased it in 1975. Registration was N11SF. In June 1976, during take-off nosewheel tyres broke up in Athens and precautionary landing made at Kuwait in sandstorm. Due to alleged irregularities associated with the flight a heavy fine was imposed on Lanzair. As a result the aircraft was abandoned at Kuwait City Airport. It was reported in 1991 that the aircraft had remained intact and had been used for fire-fighting drills at Ahmad Al Jaber Airbase until the airport was bombed during the 1991 Gulf War. Noted at the airbase in November 2020 in essentially the same condition.
Please note:
Red Wing L-1049 V1.9 or later versions are needed.

I'm not getting the Qantas Text on the wingtip tanks shown in the above photos

Qantas had different ones in use, depending year. Perhaps I will do an updade with text, if Red Wing is on final.

Despite the update, the altitude numbers on the clipboard are not visible, thereby rendering the automatic takeoff function problematic. One must use one of the Redwing 'default' liveries to see these numbers.

Thank you very much, yes you´re right - there are a lot of changes on TEXTE-UK01.PNG.DDS I didn´t noticed yet. For me it is a nightmare...
... now I can change all of my liveries again. It is never a good idea to repaint betas. 😊
Update 2.3 ist still alive.

Really beautiful livery. Unfortunately, with the release of version 1.6 this livery, although visible in ‘My Hangar’, does not appear when loaded. The TWA livery is displayed. Probably because of the updated paintkit.

Thank you for information. I am not at home this week, will look to 1.6 on weekend.

Great Job with this livery but do you have a paint kit or something to help other MSFS player for create livery on this plane ?

Sorry. No, I have no repaitkit, nor I used blender. The only "trick" I used, I seperated lines and rivets from normal textures. Together with the comps you will get a better overview, where the mapped parts are.
