Cool!. "The Fairchild XC-120 Packplane was an American experimental transport aircraft first flown in 1950. It was developed from the company's C-119 Flying Boxcar, and was unique in the unconventional use of removable cargo pods that were attached below the fuselage, instead of possessing an internal cargo compartment…" From wiki link
Are there any model in 1/76? Amicalement Armand |

There was also a Sikorski helo that was conceptually similar. Doug |

You're more likely to find one in 1/72, Armand. 1/76 seems to be a ground vehicles scale exclusively. one problem with the podded cargo plane is that you need a lot of pods sitting around… |

No one seems to mind millions of such pods sitting around nowadays. We just call the containers… Maybe a concept before it's time. |
