KursadA Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) CD72049 will be a new sheet for the Italeri C-119 kits. I have already drawn a few options, but there is still space for a few more and I am very interested in your suggestions for subjects.

Hertem Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Thunderbirds! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) I think Thunderbirds was fairly nicely done by another company a while ago? I am primarily interested in covering cargo haulers as well as interesting AC-119 with nose art; but I will consider Thunderbirds after I do a bit more research on the subject.

MHaz Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Warbird Decals has a sheet for the Thunderbird 119's, but it's currently without placement guides and on eBay only. I've got a copy, and it's pretty well done, printed by Scale Master. Haven't used it yet, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I'll ask my father about it more but my grandfather flew -119's during Korea. If I can get some more information off of him as far as units and what the a/c looked like, would you consider one or two of those as viable options? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DutchThud Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 One of the best looking colour schemes on the C-119 is that of the Royal Canadian Air Force in the 1960's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohannO Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Another vote for a white/natural metal with red cheatline Canadian AF CC-119. A natural metal/red trim USAF subject would be nice too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Fantastic! I just picked one of these kits up and had been having a heck of time finding decals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
texasraider Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Kursad some colorful C-119s in ANG service from Wyoming,West Virginia,and California in natural metal and day glo orange schemes would be nice!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kenlilly106 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Kursad, If you need WV ANG references I've got them. Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Folks, I would like to add markings for this C-119 ("Am. Can Co. Special") to the sheet. I swear I had seen a much better image of the nose art (up close and in black & white) somewhere else online. It was not an enlarged section of this photo, it was a different photo altogether. However, I can't seem to find it. Does anyone have the photo I seem to remember? Edited May 22, 2019 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie D. Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Interesting scheme! Ok, I'm going to throw it out there... eventually scale it down for the 1/144 Roden kit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dnl42 Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Another vote for a 1/144 scale-down! Please don't make me use Roden decals again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) I'll throw my vote in for both 1/72 & 1/144. But I thought that there is another thread here that talks about R4Q markings for USN & USMC, C-119K markings for Jordan & Ethiopia, and C-119L markings for ANG. I hope those are still planned.

Dutch Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) Found it on page 4. C-119 72049 While my preference is for the USMC R4Q-2, ANG C-119Ls, and Asia Minor C-119K color schemes, I do like the AM-CAN-CO Special markings too. This should be another killer sheet! Or sheets!

KursadA Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 I will consider adding the Ethiopian or Jordan schemes to the 1/144 sheet if there is space. Not so sure about the 1/72 sheet - I would rather use the limited space with as many USAF/ANG schemes as I possibly can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 @KursadA Sounds great! Just waiting for the May / June / July / August releases so I can help you work through your backlog! K/r, Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Btw, can I place a special request for a 1/72 C-119L of the 143rd SOG Rhode Island ANG? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) Kursad, I just sent along some Rhode Island & West Virginia ANG photos, but to be honest, they are also included as links in the other thread I linked to above. There is one interesting Aeromedical Evacuation photo of a Wyoming ANG C-119L. I will see if I can find more. Perhaps Rene Fracillon's Air National Guard [Aerograph 2] may have some. Do you need the R4Q-2 USN/USMC photos also? R/ Dutch Edited May 24, 2019 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viking73 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 You were going to include an AFRES scheme too, correct? If so, any chance of the AFRES C-119 that used to be at the Pate Museum west of Fort Worth? This ship was flown to the museum from active duty so the markings are 100%, despite being weathered so badly. Here are some photos from 7 - 8 years ago: This one would be easy I would think. The "675" for the nose sides and rear clam shell door, the AFRES rectangles and fin badges, and the "12675" for the tail and that would be it! Thanks in advance, -Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) Not a Thunderbirds C-119, but the YC-119K prototype still had a very attractive r/w/b color scheme. Edited March 5, 2020 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
