Auto Credit Based on Graingy's SAN-74 "Candygram"

An upgraded SAN-74 model, the original aircraft suffered from issues so a new model had to be created. This aircraft features:
Larger, fixed landing gear
Larger turboprop engines that are stronger
A off white paint scheme
Many original owners of the aircraft have chosen to modify their candygrams into candymovers. This modification has extended the service life to candygrams all over the world, but Russian’s fleet has not acquired any modification due to sanctions.
Grangy requested me to put this in the description: This modification is most commonly used in airframes transferred for operations in regions with less extreme climates and more support infrastructure, as the modifications do come at the expense of reduced service life and increased maintenance cost, since it replaces the original engines, which were designed for ruggedness and ease of maintenance, with more temperamental turboprops

    @Graingy well I guess the 9 and the Sam in the name is sort of like a “name change” I was inspired by the BT-67, with is a modified DC-3 under a different name.
    Well the aircraft can still serve rugged locations but not very rugged like the candygram.

    I will have to test this later.
    I have to add to that description:
    "This modification is most commonly used in airframes transferred for operations in regions with less extreme climates and more support infrastructure, as the modifications do come at the expense of reduced service life and increased maintenance cost, since it replaces the original engines, which were designed for ruggedness and ease of maintenance, with more temperamental turboprops."


    Also, what letter does the 9 stand for?
    SAM_TA?
    G? SAMGTA?
