Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The squadron's Transport C-130 hercules aircraft, affectionately known as Fat Albert, is the only Marine Corps aircraft permanently assigned to a Navy Squadron for support. It is flown by an all-Marine Corps crew of three pilots and five enlisted.This beautiful handmade authentic C-123 Provider Wood Model Airplane is made entirely by hand, from the hand crafting of the fuselage, wings and tail section - to the sanding of the aircraft's contours. Every part of the C-123 Provider Wood Model Airplane is assembled precisely into place using the highest quality material available. After shaping and sanding, the model passes through several stages of priming and sanding before the C-123 Provider Wood Model Airplane is hand painted to duplicate the actual colors of a selected historical aircraft. Artisans detail from researched reference materials, including all the insignias, squadron badges, nose art, emblems and serial numbers to replicate the original aircraft to scale. Our C-123 Provider Wood Model Airplane comes with base stand ready for display.

This review is from: C-123 Provider Wood Model Airplane (Toy)

This was a gift for my dad, who used to work on these planes. It is a FANTASTIC replica when compared to the real aircraft and exceeded my expectations. He loves it. I recommend this for anyone who is interested in military aircraft. No one actually plays with it; however, it seems quite durable. Educationally speaking, this would be a good visual for students (although I don't think you can see anything inside) if a field trip to see actual planes was not an option. The assembly (propellers and base) were very easy. The packaging was good too- it was very protected to make damages during shipping nearly impossible. Both my dad and I are very happy with the product!!!
