Italeri 1/72 AC-119K Stinger Model Kit

The Fairchild AC-119K Stinger was a Vietnam War-era gunship conversion of the C-119 Flying Boxcar, equipped with side-firing Minigun and 20mm Vulcan cannon plus two additional J85 jet engines for improved performance. The Stinger provided nighttime close air support and interdiction along the Ho Chi Minh Trail. This 1/72 scale Italeri kit captures an unusual and lesser-known Vietnam War gunship — less famous than the AC-130 but equally important to the truck-hunting campaign over Laos.
