I think that Revell just stretched the DC-6 mould since the cockpit section is the same on both kits. Besides correcting the nose, I puttied in all the recesses that are supposed to be cabin windows. I managed to fill the cockpit windows in with drops of Future floor polish, so when they dry, it looks just like glass panes. All raised rivet detail was sanded off, all reference pics I saw showed countersunk rivets.
The most difficult part of this project is paint. There are no Delta Golden Crown DC-7 decals out there. I'll either have to get them custom made, or kitbash from other sheets, and find someone who can hand-letter the gold "golden crown" titles under the cockpit windows.
