Popular Post tomthounaojam Posted April 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2022 Greetings Folks, This is one kit I always wanted to build for some time, however, C-119 Boxcar was out of production, However, a friend managed to get it for me. I did like to build in Mumbai, but I didn't just have the space to keep it, here in Imphal with some free space and with some motivation started it. The Italeri 1/72 kit is a bit dated and it is raised lines but it fits well, construction was straightforward. For painting, I used Mr.color silver and Tamiya and local paint for the rest of it. After talking to a few people the aircraft I painted was an orange nose and white top, I attached the b/w picture. If erroneous my apologies but I like the color combination. But the biggest challenge to the kit was the old decals, which would just crack, it took some time to make the black lines on the wings it was a daunting task. Reference picture which I used for my project. Thank you watching, cheers 100 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kampartiger Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Terrific Indian C-119. It's just perfect. Hopefully to see an Indian DHC Caribou from you in the future.👍 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in a shed Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 That is a real cracker, beautifully made and painted. Did the Indian roundals come with the kit? or did you use aftermarket. I ask as I have been gifted a Connie with square windows which I want to do as an Indian Air Force, or Navy, example but I cant source any large roundals.

The trick in this photo is depth of perspective. The C-119 is roughly the size of PB4Y-2 Privateer (33x26m vs. 34x23m), while C-130J-30 is bigger than B-29 (40x35m vs. 43x30m) BTW. Tom - splendid work 👍 Cheers Michael 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
