Inside the Italeri 1468 - 1/72 AC-119K Stinger Model Kit

The Italeri 1468 - 1/72 AC-119K Stinger Model Kit recreates the AC-119K gunship at a handy 1/72 scale. The parts present the aircrafts characteristic armament housings and airframe shapes, offering a satisfying small-scale project that balances detail and display size.

Model history and builder interest

The AC-119K stood out for its low altitude firepower and nocturnal missions. This kit gives modellers a compact way to explore that operational history while building an accurate replica suited to shelves or small exhibits.

Practical build advice

Expect fine moulded components that need careful trimming and test-fitting. Use a suitable plastic cement for assembly and take time painting small panels to keep the final finish crisp. Completed models look particularly effective with subtle weathering to suggest operational use.
