Squadron

Initially planned as a glider in the early post war years by the Chase Firm, the concept was redesigned and fitted with engines. In 1953 production took place and in 1955 it started to appear into U.S Air Force and later on in U.S Coast Guard inventory as a successor of the Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar. C-123K variant aircraft was evaluated for operations in Southeast Asia and their stellar performance led the Air Force to upgrade 180 of the C-123B aircraft to the new C-123K standard. Kit has engraved panel lines, detailed two-seat cockpit and fuselage,  detailed twin-engines and mounts, single piece propellers with separate spinners, external fuel tanks, auxiliary jet pods, nose radar, detailed undercarriage, optional cargo bay door, transparent accents (lights, radar, single piece windscreen and windows). Decals and markings for a single USAF aircraft: Phan rang Air base, Vietnam 1970 -  includes stencil and propeller data.
