Italeri 1/72 Lockheed C-130K/ C.1

[Stuart]

I didn't see anything about the rear cargo doors in my build log. Sorry.

No worries Mike, as I said, I suspect the issue was mine, although the destructions didn't help.

Italeri definitely seems to have taken a one size fits all on the C-130 engines. I have some Attack Squadron 1/48 updates.

[Stuart]

Those are what I've got, although the 1/72 version. Apparently Brengun have bought the moulds from Attack Squadron, or so I've read.

I've added filler all over the seams - the fit's not too bad but most of them aren't level. I've also test fitted the windscreen which was pretty good - this is it unglued.



You might be able to spot my possible next build (it's a bit on the small side) - blame Tom Clancy. Thankfully it has the markings for Hurlburt Field as featured in the book.



Cheers!

That is looking quite the C-130! So, the next one is a car?

[Stuart]

LOL! Spot on Lyle

Thanks, it's coming along. I am mulling over putting this in the USAF scheme rather than an RAF version, but we'll see.

Yeah if you make the C-130 a tanker, it’s a natural pair up with the Jolly Green/Pave Low

[Stuart]

Way ahead Stik, I'm planning on getting one of these later in the year...

[LyleW]

Winner, winner, porridge dinner!

I had no idea that they made a Combat Talon C-130… SWEET!!!!
