Northwest Airlines DC-3

Hello All,
I was wondering if, since we have several Northwest Airlines
DC-3 flights, anybody has suggestions where I could find a
repaint for the MAAM Sim DC-3 in Northwest Airlines colors?
Thank You,
Kyle Bjorklund

Think there's none.
Did find one for the default DC-3
HTML http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?do=search&fsec=0&fname=NW3.ZIP
But as we all know, default DC-3 repaints can't be made as
accurate as we would like to, as there are no separate bitmaps
for left/right wings and for the left/right rudder.
So serials or other lettering on wings and rudder are no option,
unless you like to see them mirrored on one side.
Looks like a nice tempting repaint. If I find some 6hrs of
spare time, I'll get my Photoshop out and make one for the
MAAM-SIM.

Thanks for the reply, Wim.
I'd seen that file - but, alas, it is for FSX and I'm still
flying around in FS2004.
I would have re-painted one myself, but I have no artistic
ability and the re-paint would probably not turn out very well.
I've started flying around with old SwissAir colors, since they
have a similar color scheme on their aircraft.

A Northwest DC-3 would be great, but painting a MAAM DC-3 is
challenging. For one thing, the rear fuselage stretches where
the forward half does not, making lining up trim lines a pain in
the kester. But maybe if I get time I could do that.
