  1. Lovel it Fred. great job. I will be referring to your work in progress thread when I attempt mine
  2. Lovel it Fred. great job. I'm sure you will sort out the cabin door decal issue soon as well.
  3. I like it!, I have one in the stash and was wondering which scheme to build it in. Looks like the metallic one is the way to go!
  4. Excellent! You are building up a great collection of the special mission 135s
  5. Another great effort, thanks for sharing
  6. That's right Paul, up to 26 airframes to be procured starting in 2025. Link to article
  7. Good to know about the wing seam issue Fred, I've got an -800 and P-8 in the stash and will apply this reinforcement when I attack them.
  8. Don't forget the UK are also getting 3 airframes. I have the Welsh Models kit which will do fine for me ( for now 😄 )
  9. Another ouch! from me. On the bright side the decaling looks great! 🏆
  10. This is the original tooling of the 1/72 Airfix C-130 kit. I have built it as a USAF HC-130N CSAR aircraft or as the USAF puts it "the only dedicated fixed-wing Personnel Recovery platform in the Air Force inventory". To build the HC-130N I added a added consoles and cabinets to the cockpit Tasman Models AN/ARD-17 Aerial Tracker Radome, inflight refuelling Hose Reel units from Flightpath and propellors from an Italeri C-130 kit. I also added the observer windows in the main cabin, the recover system rails and flare chutes on the upper ramp door and various antennas as seen on the aircraft

The decals are from the C-130 Herc sheet by Caracal Models and walkway outline decals from an Italeri AC-130 ki
  12. Sizes are: United States Air Force: 58mm x 3mm USAF: 56mm x 17mm You'll have to convert to inches if necessary
  13. Like the AP-3C it replaced I expect it will be a satin/semi gloss finish, I left it glossed as I liked the look of it.
  14. Nice model and I love the scheme, it is very different to your run of the mill Gripens!
  15. My latest and first for the new year is the 1/72 SovaM Shavit (based on the Gulfstream G550 bizjet) converted to an MC-55A Peregrine which will be operated soon by the RAAF.
  16. Kursad, bumping this one again. While the reference page exists the linked PDFs can't be found. Still after the top/bottom views for options 7 and 8, though all of them would be good for completeness
  17. Robert, These were the shots I used as my reference
  18. The main differences between the B and C were that that early Bs had a search light on the starboard wingtip and they only had a single sonobuoy chute under the rear fuselage. The antenna fit was also different as Niels mentioned. The B's radome was the same size as the C. The L-188 Electra had the smaller radome. The Argentine Bs were not fitted with the search light. I built the subject kits a few years back...
