Hajo L. Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Roden released the 1:72 NC/AC-123K: http://www.roden.eu/HTML/058.htm The boxart looks odd, the colors are somehow very different from the original. HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
let_models Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 My order was on it way...will post some pictures when it arrive! You're right the box art color look 'little odd' but I hope the kit will be good as the previously C-123B version... let_models :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DonSS3 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 You guys probably know this but... Don't bother trying to match the artwork. It should just be normal USAF SEA camo (probably for the gunship) over flat black. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChesshireCat Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 still not the two right ones needed, but getting much closer. We need a flare ship, and the one that tracked radar sites (code name escapes me at the moment). The latter aircraft worked in similar fashion to the Wild Weasels, but was unarmed. Upon finding a radar sight, it would drop a homing device for an air strike a few hours later in daylight. Of course SOG units used several C123's, and something there would also be nice. gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It should just be normal USAF SEA camo (probably for the gunship) over flat black. Hmm, are you sure about the SEA-camo? Because this does not look like an ordinary SEA-camo at all - which tributes much to the attractivity of this aircraft! :) HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cvrle Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I would say the colours are SEA, but the scheme isn't any sort of official. And it faded significantly and quickly... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ikar Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 This might help. I caught it while getting on the Freedom Bird at Clark A.B. Then there's always this version of the C-123: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mig23 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I started out with the colours from the SAC SIOP scheme (FS 34159 & FS 34201)..... Cheers, Haydn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just wait and see how the instruction called out! let_models :) Edited June 21, 2015 by let_models Quote Link to post Share on other sites
K5054NZ Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I know it seems perverse and in poor taste but I would like to model a Ranch Hand Provider. This sort of boxing holds no appeal for me, but I'm sure there are folks who will appreciate it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
