I was behind this HM DC-4, I exchanged many emails with William but despite showing evidences he never accepted to reproduce the asymmetric rear blue cheat line which was typical of the delivery scheme on the first aircraft received in 1946.
The other problem was that what was validated one day had to be renegotiated a few days later ...
With its symmetric cheat line and the small AF titles on the fuselage, the HM model is more representative of an intermediate livery, after the first one and before 1956, it only needs the French flag on both sides of the fuselage to have something accurate.
See document.
I will send an email to Herpa asking them to ignore the French flag on their model and the livery will be correct.
As I said, I have the KLM version of the Herpa DC-4, the details are excellent, so I will order the AF version too.
I never order a new model which is inferior to the ones I already have.
The Herpa model is different but it is equally good, too good to be missed.
