C-133 Cargomaster - Anyone know of any good 1:72 kits out there?

From what i could out this looks like your only choice its a vacu form kit

Back in the mid-eighties a guy by the name of Gene Hooker created and released a vacuform kit of the C-133.  That's where the Combat Models kit came from.  That's all there is in 72nd scale.  I built one -- not for the cowardly modeler.  A photo of it can be found in a FSM Reader's Gallery many, many years ago.

P.H.

Good Day,

I was speaking to a friend and he is in line getting a Rick's Vac C-133 in 1:72 which includes details and other goodies. Is there any relation between this Rick's Vac kit and the one you mention? I am wondering what the main differences are and which is the best one...can you help??

The Combat/Roberts models says its a plane kit These are very Basic Vacform kits, none come with decals or metal parts -
many details must be made or from the spares box
OR.
ROBERTS MODELS Makes Parts sets for most of these kits
other than that i have know idea if the 2 are one in the same check them both out for 39 doller US and all you get is fusalage and wings

 

Im aware of Combat models warnings, but is the Rick's/Tyson version any better??

dont know i wont build a vacuform kit. id do some reserch on google that how most of the questions get answerd it just take some time to find right link it took me around 15min to find the info i posted.

True, it is hard to find info....but for me i think its worth seeing whether the Rick's Vac are the same as Tyson and Combat Models, as maybe the money is worth it for a better kit with detail parts...

Yes, contact Gene Hooker at sherwoodchatfield@yahoo.com, February 2017, about his 1/72 plastic vacuform kit.. the most accurate representation of the aircraft in model form
