C-119C Flying Boxcar 1/144 Roden Models

In 1947 the well-regarded design of the C-82 Packet was improved. More powerful Pratt & Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major engines were installed, and the fuselage nose was also redesigned. The new airplane was designated the C-119 Flying Boxcar and was soon taken on by the Air Force. Production machines had a slightly bigger fuselage and an enhanced design which permitted air drops of parachutists and equipment. The aircraft’s design was constantly modified during its career, achieving continual gains in its flight performance. These airplanes were very well proven during the wars in Korea and in Vietnam. The type was operated not only by the USAF, but also by the air forces of France, India and some other countries.

Please see the paint guide below for the manufacturer’s recommended colors. Roden recommends Vallejo paints for this kit, and you can find the full line by clicking here.
