About product

Douglas C-124A Globemaster II 1:144 - a Roden plastic kit

Injection-molded plastic kit of the heavy propeller-driven transport Douglas C-124A Globemaster II in 1:144 scale from Roden. The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The kit captures the early C-124A version, that is without the nose radome and without the wingtip heaters that are typical only of the later form. Take the exact contents of the package from the instructions supplied.

The real subject

The C-124 Globemaster II was an enormous propeller-driven transport with a capacious fuselage, clamshell nose doors for loading vehicles and a loading ramp. It was powered by four massive radial engines. Its slow, rugged manner earned it the nickname Old Shaky. It was used for the strategic movement of heavy equipment and cargo and was the backbone of American military transport in the 1950s and 1960s. The C-124A version was an early production variant.

Building and painting tips

The large fuselage calls for careful filling and sanding of the joints. Mask the cockpit glazing before spraying. On natural metal areas use a metallic paint over a smooth base and apply it at the very end. Military schemes suit a matte clear coat; washes in the panel lines will bring out the detail of the large surfaces and give the model depth.

Who the model is for

  • For collectors of heavy military transports in 1:144 scale
  • For fans of the American propeller era of the Cold War
  • For modelers who want a large commanding piece for the display case
  • For builders with experience of filling large fuselages

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The early C-124A has neither the nose radome nor the wingtip heaters and has different engine cowlings; the nose radome and the wingtip heaters are a feature only of the C-124C version.

The model is in 1:144 scale; even so, given the size of the real subject it is a large piece.

Cement for plastic, filler for the joints, a primer and modeling paints (ideally an airbrush), a metallic paint for the metal areas and washes for the panel lines. They are not included in the package.
