  • 1700mm Flightline Fairchild C-119

    Please make us one, they would sell like hotcakes ( I would get four:Cool:), the powertrain and most other hardware from the F7F would work on it.

    The flying boxcar they called them. The 928th MAC unit a O'Hare Chicago had them before they transitioned to C-130s. They were something to watch on start-up and takeoff. That would be a plane to have.

      I saw that new thread started and got all excited! Thought it might an official announcement. I was all ready to throw my wallet at the pre-order button! :)Breathing, heart rate and wallet all back to normal now. Yep, I'd get one for sure:Cool:.

            Let's try to keep this on the C-119, there's plenty of other "What's next" threads.

              I've even thought of building a 1/72 scale Testors model of this plane and having it 3D scanned then upscale it and have it 3D printed.

                I'd be on board for a big C-119.

                    No worries just want to gauge the interest in one of these.

                        I would jump on this in a heart beat! I've always loved the Boxcar. Count me in for at least 2!

                          Thanks TI for leading me to think it was a new release, I picture you with an evil smirk as you typed the heading. I would buy one in a second to turn it into the ac119G shadow. I have a passion for the gunships. I would prefer FL but lower cost (and lower quality) dynam would also work for me. Same drivetrain as b26/p61 1500mm. Saw a large C119 at a meet in muncie not long ago, plane has a real presence.

                            I would want an optional operational cargo ramp with a drogue chute sled where as you open the door the chute deploys and when it fully opens it pulls two light weight wires out of the securing holes releasing the sled and bringing my really tiny vs tanks to the battle zone. I think that could be alot of fun.

                              Well maybe, that operation looks a little more complex than I was thinking. Dang..

                                    FN-RC, which I believe is a vendor in Taiwan, showed some photos of a 2000mm C-119 on their FB page back in 2016. Not sure who made them or if they were foam or composite, but they apparently never made it to the USA.

                                    I'm sure Flightline could do a really nice one in the 1700-1800mm range.

                                      No thanks. I doubt this would sell much. A transport plane? Please.

                                        As CFIT Rob said, check out the AC-119G and K models. BA for a boxcar.
