This C133 Cargomaster  was an occasional flyer but jobs were running out for it and a sister ship ( not present ) . I maybe wrong but I believe they were both saved and flew south to museums.

I think we may be still waiting for a Roden kit, but I may be wrong?

I have attached a link to a photo and  the eventual fate of N199AB below. Always thought the '133' was a handsome hauler, and it was a shame they were retired so early due to fatigue issues. Interesting photo of the C-46 with one painted and one bare metal prop. BTW, thanks for sharing your photos- lots of interesting aircraft scattered all  around Alaska!

Here's a list of surviving C-133A's for any who are interested.
