USCG was forced to accept 14 HC-27J Spartans to supplement the HC-144 Ocean Sentry (based on EADS CN-235).

Now that GWH is releasing a 1/144 C-130H kit and Academy has re-released the Minicraft C-130J-30 & C-130H kits, any plans to scale this sheet down to 1/144 and release this summer?

BTW, I received my Sova-M 1/144 B-57E with CIM-10A BOMARC missile and both are molded in 1/144 scale. I will upload photos of the parts and instructions later today probably in a separate thread on the Jet Forum..

I am learning and relearning things all the time. Thanks Bryan. -
Shawn, It's nice to see one of the hastily camouflaged Maple Flag CF-101B examples. Well done sir! Your KH example is also nice. Only ever built two of the Monogram kits. I think I still have one left. Good to know it is the better of the two. K/r, Dutch

Bryan, Oh, nice project! Those are the long wing 147s, correct? (Sorry, I don't have my Teledyne-Ryan 147 model chart in front of me.) That explains the extra sway braces from the top of the pylon to the drone wings. However, your photo also shows the extra chord and zig-zag on the lower pylon trailing edge. After looking at photos of the US Navy VC-3 DC-130A, it appears that the Shapeways 3D printed DC-130 pylons are for this version or for just carrying the short wing drones as this USAF DC-130A is doing. K/r, Dutch -
Gorgeous photos, all!

I would build a standard USAF SEA camo DC-130A from Vietnam or Davis-Monthan era or a more colorful USN DC-130A from Point Mugu, so I think that these pylons will work. -

So, yesterday or the day before, I asked Bill at Bill's Models about the possibility of creating 1/144 drone pylons for the DC-130A. I just received notification that they are ready! How is that for service? -
Here's a link to an Air Force Museum 77 pp booklet on early winged missiles. Enjoy!

Bryan, I am completely ignorant of the limitations of 3D filament or resin printing, so my apology is in order on that score. Yes, I have to have at least two cups of coffee before I do any math. The 3D drones appear to be a little "clunky" as you pointed out. Also there is some kind of strange bulge forward and slightly above the wing root. May have to file that down. I will probably thin the wing and stab LE & TE a little. Those are the biggest factors in the clunky appearance. But I also like the long body, long wing 147s. Carry on, good Sir! K/r Dutch
