Hate to ask this... but i just read all 18 pages of this thread. But to my horrible surprise. All the pictures of the aircraft being painted after white base coat are "no longer available". Could we get some updated pictures? i would love to see what it looks like in detail.
And BTW, THISISAMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Myplan is to build a 1/3 scale C-123K provider. I already get to play with a real one on an almost daily basis... but i want my own lol.
At 1/3 scale, it would be 25ft 5in long, 36ft 8in wingspawn and 11 ft 4in high. Powering it would be two 9 or 18 cylinder radial engines (scaled to size, no 18 cylinder engine made yet, but there is a 9 cylinder) and possibly 2 jet engines in the jet pods which made the C-123B into the K model. I havent decided if i would need them or not, but for scale reason i might do them in the money is there. It might be big enough for me to make a working cockpit for me to fly in it lol.
If you don't mind me asking, how much $ is invested into this excluding power plants? I'm just trying to figure out what type of money i would be looking at for my eventual project. I think i need to build my first plane first though before i even trythe 123lol.
