CD72027 : C-123 Provider


Recommended Posts

CD72027 will be a 1/72 C-123 decal sheet intended for the Roden kit. I just started the design work last week and intend to make it available in October. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

I like the Coast Guard scheme, but the HC-123B nose does not come with the initial boxing of the Roden kit. Is the radar nose the only external difference for the Coast Guard version (HC-123B)? The Coast Guard markings are big enough to warrant a dedicated sheet. If the only external difference is the nose, then perhaps this is a good chance to venture into resin updates for the first time.

For the time being the sheet contains a plain troop carrier C-123B from the early 1960s, General Westmoreland's "White Whale", an SAC C-123B, a MATS C-123B and a camouflaged Vietnam-era aircraft. I might add or drop options depending on the space I have on the sheet.

Kursad,

The HC-123B radome is the only external difference I can see between the regular birds and the HC's. Of note, with the HC radome, and a couple of C-130 nacelle parts, a C-123T variant could be built, as well...

No need for resin. HC-123 on deck for roden

Wow, I really like that USCG scheme but then I am a sucker for anything wearing yellow or dayglo. I am sure Kursad's USCG markings will be better colour wise than what I see on Roden's sheet unless it is my monitor that is throwing off the colour.
