Description

Here's a look at a conversion I have in the works for a 1/72 Testors C-119G kit. My father used to be a flight mechanic on C-119J s out of Hamilton AFB, CA back in the early 70s. So this model is for him that I'm doing. The big difference between the C-119G and J models is the very different rear cargo door that's on the J model. There are no models or conversion kits available for the J model plane, so I'm doing it myself. Seeing as this is going to be a closed up model, no cargo bay detail is necessary. This model has been a looooong time in the works. I started it way back in 1997, got the rough cargo door made and stopped once I had the new cargo door roughed into shape. then it sat in it's box until this last fall when I finally pulled it out and decided to finish it at last. Over the next few photos will detail the progress to date. unfortunately due to college course and job search needs, the plane is still not finished as of Now, Jun 2013. The goal still is to finish it before the end of the year though. Here's hoping...stay tuned. :)
