Licence-built An-12 built to FRCA requirements, obvious changes are stretched fuselage, redesigned tail section, new radar and PW150 Engines.

You sure PW150s are big enough? That's a C-130 class aircraft and PW150s are for puddle jumpers.

Huh, the PW150 and the Ailsons on the C-130 are in the same power class.
