Mark Aldrich Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hello All, Am I brain dead or did Italeri really release a 1/48 scale AC-119 Flying Boxcar? I am almost positive that when I was building their AC-130 I remember a AC-119. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 You're not brain dead, but the glue fumes have gotten to you! There is no 1/48 C-119 (resin, vac, or otherwise) or I'd have one! In fact, I finally tracked down a reference book on the C-82/C-119 at VB in preparation for the possibility of having to scratchbuild it in 1/48. Now if I could just find some good scale plans (1/144 or 1/72) to enlarge....And, unfortunately, I don't see Trumpeter coming to the rescue (at least not until I scratchbuild mine!).

ewahl Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Testors (Italeri) Kit #678 was the AC-119K Stinger Gunship in 1/72. Can a modeler pantograph a 1/72 kit larger to create a copy in 1/48? I've never tried such a project. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Aldrich Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 When I was building the AC-130 for a friend I could have sworn there was a 1/48 AC-119 and I had thought how kool that would be. I am sure there is a way but can't imagine how. If they made a plan C-119 in the scale then at least I could start. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewahl Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 To get plans in 1/48, take the 1/72 Testors kit instructions to Kinkos or some place like that and enlarge them. At least you'll have some decent drawings from which to start a project. It'll cost you a few bucks. :o Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
