| Almost entirely agree, but the lack of the outboard turbojets would make it an AC-119G Shadow, not an AC-119K Stinger. The design is almost purely just a Shadow but with flattened wings and a couple other small redesigns such as rear fuselage. The window pattern, weapon suite, country, and it's whole role as a loitering gunship have to make it just an AC-119G. Critically, the overall fuselage design is 100% inspired by the contoured rectangle seen on the 119s, whereas the Nord Noratlas has an odd lengthened peanut shape. | |
| To me it looks a lot more like a Fairchild AC-119 and certainly functions more like one. The wings are definitely closer to a Noratlas, lacking the inverted gull wing-style dip that the Flying Boxcar and therefore Stinger had. The rear fuselage doesn't match either but the nose and cockpit section look more like the Stinger for sure |
