Merry Christmas everybody ! I'm jumping in the fray today with this quick build. Can't recall where it came from or what, just always liked this type of bird. Mine will be a clandestine transport used in the prolonged Falklands War. Watching some hockey and going at it !You cannot view this attachment.

Hmmmm.... Turboprop engines?

Captain Canada · December 27, 2022, 05:24:15 PM

Still up in the air. I've already got a few piston engined machines in my story so might stay with the radials.

C-123 almost looks like an egg plane even in real life!

Isn't one an Egg-Herk actually?

Four turboprops or two turbofans could have a combination of both.

It is the Provider C-2(T).
As you can see it ha stwo RR Tynes.
I believe it is the same 1/144 model as I used.

Nice one ! Looks like you did the PVA window treatment as I plan on doing. I t would be nice to stretch the fuselage, but I think I'll just go with this egg plane ;-)
and of course, now I have to make it a turboprop
