Wasn't the prototype DC-4 fitted with twin tail fins?
Good job

Almost, it had three of them.

It's worth Whiffing, I don't have a DC-4 only a C-118 Lift master/DC-6 1/72 scale.

The DC-4E was not the prototype for the DC-4, the designation was reused,
however the aircraft were complety different machines.

The DC-4 was put forward as a proposal for the replacement of the Shorts Sunderland in the maritime patrol role. An upper gun turret and bomb bay were also to be included. There's a chapter in Chris Gibson book' Nimrod Genius'.

That would be Nimrod's Genesis....
