AOA Decals have a very small range of decals, but their sheets are highly detailed and exhaustively researched. Sheet 72-006 is the first sheet to cover the AC-119, with markings for no less than 14 different aircraft! The airframes featured are:

All aircraft were painted in the standard scheme (for the type), comprising FS34079, FS34102 and FS30219 upper surfaces with black lower surfaces. Markings were predominantly Insignia Red and comprised “USAF” and the serial number on the fin.

The decals are printed by Cartograf and there are sufficient stencils for two aircraft. Instructions come on multiple A-5 sheets and include:

There are very few markings for the AC-119, so this sheet is highly recommended!
