Tiger331 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Tom, GREAT Job !......So nice to see the classic C-119 in a different colour scheme.........The USAF, Armee de l'Air and Italian AF aircraft are OK but I have not seen one done in Indian colours before which is strange given the big part it played in Indian Air Force operations over an extended period including at least two conflicts. Well Done, Sir ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I'm just seeing this now, and I agree with others' comments that this is an outstanding job, especially given the work you needed to do to make the bare metal finish glow. I have built this kit a couple times, and it's not a straightforward build, despite the good fit. It's also very big, and that photograph with people standing near the aircraft demonstrates its scale. It may not be quite as large as a C-130, but it is certainly bulky and has a "presence." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Done, Sir ! Thanks Mate, I think India was one of the largest operator of C-119 about 80 aircraft that is quite a lot yet there aren't many in Indian colors. I did like to build a An-12 as these two aircraft were the transport work horse in early days and An-12 in Indian subject also very rare yet it has so many nice schemes especially ad hoc of 1971 war painting.

Thanks Mate, Indeed she is HUGE, when I was building he, the work bench would be fully occupied by so have to make part by part then assembled all together, I have one more and thinking of building as camo version or another colorful one. Thank you once again, reall appreciate the kind words, cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampartiger Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 If you hadn't put the Herky next to it, I wouldn't have known that the C-119 was that big. That's a really colourful Indian Boxcar you have there and honestly, I would like to have one in my collection too. Btw just how many Boxcars were in the IAF?

stevehnz Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Hi Tom, not sure how I missed this but pleased you missed some replies & brought it back to the top, this has long been a favourite aircraft of mine, though seeing how big it is in 1/72, I think my 1/144 decision is very wise. They were quite the work horse these & very much earned their place in a collection, This one looks superb. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiskySierraKilo Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I've always loved the flying boxcar. And I've always wanted to build something in Indian service. I better get cracking ! Super rendition mate . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
providence Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Excellent work on a model rarely seen, I love the light weathering ! Regards Providence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Totally awesome! I don't think raised panel lines are an issue - especially with your multi-hued approach to the natural metal finish. It looks superb! 👏👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
