Douglas DC-3 Royal Danish Air Force K-682 repaint requested Classic and Retrofit cockpits by JGE_DK and others, special thanks to JGE_DK for assisting with support and photos for this project,
Built by Douglas Aircraft Company as a C-47A-DL model and delivered to the USAAF April 1944. The following year it was delivered to the Royal Norwegian Air Force (RNAF) under the “lend - leased” program, until 1946 when it was leased by The Norwegian Air Lines. Registered as LN-IAT and named Nordtind. Painted in Scandinavian Airlines System colours during 1948. Last flight for SAS was in July 1953 and was deleted from the Norwegian register. Bought by the Royal Danish Air Force (RDAF) in October and received a new serial RDAF 68-682 and flew with Esk 721 squadron. Re-registered to K-682 in December 1960. Last flight for the RDAF was in July 1982 and she was put into storage soon after. In 1985 she was bought by Bohnsted-Petersen A/S as OY-BPB and was used as a company plane but also used at air shows. In 1992 she was taken over by The Association for Flying Museum Planes/Danish Friends and kept airworthy.
As always anything missing or new information I can amend the repaint to update it.
5 stars!! No questions asked!!! 😀
She's gorgeous!!! And YOU, good Sir, have done a BEAUTIFUL job!!! ;D
Personally, I think you are one of the absolute best livery creators in here!! And I admire your patience. 😉 It has been a pleasure to be of assistance (even though some of the smaller details are a bit hard to find). 😉
Again : THANK YOU!!!

Hi JG, it helps when we have people as passionate about a livery like yourself, as well helping to find details like you did mate. We as painters can spend many hours looking for photos that can show us what details we need to take into account. As I have stated before finding good photos on such old aircraft is difficult, but we try to do them justice.
