Lockheed CL-423 P2V-7 Troop Transport
Another great article from “Fatz”. This time on the proposed Lockheed CL-423 P2V-7 troop transport conversion.

Fatz was a former Lockheed employee who did similar articles for other International Plastic Model Society (IPMS) publications such as “Flying Tiger” and “Dirty Plastic” and West Michigan.
