coronado990 Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Hi there again fellas, If there's one thing I love as much as classic airliners, it's the classic Military aircraft. So, this time around I've gone military. I've just completed a mammoth 23 repaints for Daisuke Yamamoto's C-119 Box Car. Definitely one of my all time favorite Military transports. I've got to say, I have a strong inclination towards classic American military transports/freighters/heavies to other nations' ones. C-124s, C-133s, C-130s, C-5s, C-141s, and the list goes on. A little info on the C-119: An excellent military transport, the first C-119 made its maiden flight in November 1947. By the time production ceased in 1955, more than 1,150 C-119s had been built. It would become popularly known as the "Flying Boxcar". The Boxcar was the US Air Force's standard tactical transport during the early Cold War from the 1950s to the early 1960s. It lingered in service into the Vietnam War, a number of them serving as "AC-119" gunships. From the 1960s onward, they served in ANG squadrons. The C-119 ended service with all US forces around 1974. I have actually uploaded a full package of the aircraft for FSX with all 23 repaints, on one of the other sites.

jankees Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 wow, nice collection! I especially like the ones with the day-glo panels. I did a few myself, but for the Aeroplane Heaven model. Funnily enough, I see only one we both painted, 49-186 in French colors: any plans for the aircraft from the Flight of the Phoenix movie? Slapping paint on flightsim models you'll find all my FSX/P3D repaints here and all my MSFS repaints here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NMLW Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 A fine group of pretty paints for the C-119 Ted. :cool: :cool: :cool: Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coronado990 Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 Thank a lot fellas. Jan, you are one of the best repainters around. Glad you like my repaints. Unfortunately, I don't have the Aeroplane Heaven C-119, but I did notice your repaints of it, as of many other planes you have repainted. I think you're Belgian, is that right? I have done one of the Belgian Air Force C-119s, which is the first picture in my post. As for repainting the Phoenix C-119, I don't think I will. Mainly because I am not really interested in fictional scheme repaints. However, the last picture in my post- of the USN C-119G Long Nose with the day-glo colors, was used as a prop in the 2004 version of the "Flight of the Phoenix" movie (the original 1965 "Flight of the Phoenix" movie, used a C-82 Packet, I believe). David, it's interesting your dad has flown in a C-119. That would've been enjoyable. Khalid, and Larry, thanks. Enjoy your flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColR1948 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Wow Ted you did it again. I painted this as well but you know me mine was fictional lol. I'll definitely download these as now my sim is in 60's retro mode and I'm in the process of adding some military. Damn! I can't get them, I forgot they are all FSX and my retro sim in FS2004. WeyHey, I think I'm in luck I just tried one on the FS2004 model and it worked. Col. Edited October 21, 2019 by ColR1948 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Just to confirm, this is FS2004 my retro version and look Ted's C-119 working and looking great. Col. Edited October 21, 2019 by ColR1948 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coronado990 Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 Hey Col, First up, I have to commend you on the 60s retro look that you have there. It looks excellent. As for the repaints working in FS2004, I was quietly confident they would, as they are BMP files. I couldn't say so in my descriptions when I uploaded them as I have had some people in the past saying that this repaint, or that repaint didn't work in FS2004. Glad they work for you anyway.

ColR1948 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Hi Ted, Yes I understand mate, one of the main reasons I did this was because I wanted your paints the other was anyone with FS2004 can or want your paints and not think like I first did and thought they will only work in FSX. So thanks again Ted for those they are truly great. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
