Hajo L. Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Can somebody shed some light here? My Roden-kit of the NC/AC-123K comes with a round window that is "open", which seems strange to me. By looking at this picture at Wikipedia, it somehow looks like this window indeed has been open: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/40/NC-123K.jpg/1280px-NC-123K.jpg Any idea if this window is really "open"?

Finn Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Looks like it's the APU exhaust: Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 Great find! I have the same picture myself, but didn´t read the subtitle... Dumb me! Thanks for finding that! HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael A. Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 My guess; It is hot outside! All of the C-123s that I rode on as a PAX in SEA had open windows at about that location to allow for ventilation of the cargo area. The photo above also shows some sort of a wall behind the open window. Another guess is that this wall allows for fresh air to get into the aircraft but blocks all interior lighting from being visible from outside the aircraft at night. Just my thoughts on the subject, your experience may vary. Michael A. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
