C-160 Transall troop transport

Not a custom. I found this r/c plane and thought i'd mention it. It will probably be of more interest to european board members than north american ones.

If you looking for a semi scale transport aircraft for those custom french and german troops you've made here it is:

Wing span is 1/22 scale, length is 1/24 but it's still a whopping 4 1/2 feet long and 6 feet in span! Should easily hold a bunch of troops i would think. Maybe not 80 like the real thing does but a bunch.

Would be impressive with a bunch of paratroopers coming out the back.

I wish it was a Hercules...

'bout the same size too as the herc' IIRC. Leads to some hope for a 1/18 to somehow be released.

Pretty cool, and IMHO, not bad for $200. I wish I had a big house where I could display it

Bloody hell Now that would be nice to own

I wish we had a bigger house & I`d be on this one like a fly to....... well you know what I mean

Have a Stick all lined up in the cargo area for a jump would be a great way to display this,or drop down ramp & have some of my Modern German`s & Weasal armour whizzing out of the back of it

Nice find Aferg & such a temptation too

Forward-from-wing and backwards-from-wing propotions are a little out but the C-160 is a pretty good match to the C-27 Spartan as flown by the US Armed Forces... If anyone asks, you could always say it's a prototype stretched version of the Spartan!

my it does look very similar doesn't it. This would be a bit overscale for the Spartan and the Spartan looks a tad chubbier but overall, it's quite a good match.
