Beautiful work, as always, Erik, and an excellent description of the kit, the potential variations, and what you have learned as your test build proceeds.
I had the pleasure of flying in Republic of Korea Air Force VC-54s O 72694 and O 72571 in the mid 80s. Never flew in a commercial DC-4, but my first airplane flight ever was a United Airlines DC-6 in 1952, and I flew several times in USAF C-118s, including a couple of very long flights across the Pacific in the early 60s.
Your build also reminds me of the Strombecker solid wood C-54 that my father and I built in the early 50s.
It is always a great pleasure to see your artisanship in action and this model is something special.
Don
