Here's an update. It looks like Bruno has done several DC-7's, but I did not find any in Braniff livery.

And for a quite nice book about the Douglas propellor-driven airliners,

Thanks for the help. A DC-7.
I have vague memories of the flight. We flew from NYC to Shannon, Ireland then on to Frankfurt, Germany if I recall correctly.

Schreiber-Bogen make a DC-7C paper model. Quick search found some on ebay and amazon

A re-paint could be done, once you've scanned it.

Didn't Wilhelmshaven publish a D-7 sometime back?

Hi all;

Just happened to find a card 1:50 scale DC-7C in the current Schreiber-Bogen catalog for this year. It isn't in Branniff markings though. There is quite a variety of aircraft in there.

In the Old Days a dutch company VERITAS published several propliners including a Douglas 7B. Reprints are available here:
