Thunderbirs C-54 'City of Las Vegas' - cabin layout


Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm preparing for the upcoming Caracal decals and trying to understand how the Thunderbirds Skymaster was internally arranged. I have only this image where quasi-airlines seating can be seen. Was this the normal arrangement for 'passenger' C-54? Would it have been the same for the whole cabin or could it be a 'combi' configuration?

Thanks Fabio

Ok, maybe the question was too specific :tumble:/>

However, after more research and analisys of the very few images I could find of DC-4 interiors I came to these conclusions:

- the seat layout is probably the same as that used by civil airlines

- there are some missing elements such as the overhead baggage containers but otherwise the interior is very similar to any DC-4 airliner

- I guess there should be some kind of cargo area in the rear right end of the cabin since all the rearmost windows are blaked off: there are only 9 as on the left side which is quite unusual

I hope someone can add to this pieces of info I have collected: it's quite surprising how little references can be found online and in print on the C.54...

Cheers

Fabio
