Fairchild C-123 Provider-123 Part Challenge

121k asteroidbook345  5.4 years ago

The C-123 Provider was a twin-engine cargo aircraft used heavily in Vietnam as a troop and supply transport. Mine was simplified quite a bit for the challenge, as they almost always had supplementary jet engines located in pods under the wings, and extra fuel tanks. They also had a lot more windows that I had to omit to decrease part count. It does, however use a quite cool landing gear system that keeps the doors synchronized and the landing gear from taking up a lot of space in the aircraft, allowing for small wheel bays.
