It's strange. With the B-29 they have all kinds of internal structure for the bomb bays but, here nothing. Thanks

Couldn't have done it without you. Thanks

Thanks all

Fixed. Thanks

This is the Academy 1/72 Boeing C-97A Strato-Freighter build as an HC-97G Strato-Rescuer. In the early '60 the US Air Force search and rescue strategy was to have a high powered long range helicopter and a long range fixed wing aircraft. At the time the Sikorsky H-3 filled the helicopter role and the Douglas SC-54D as the fixed wing aircraft with the plan to have the HC-130 replace the SC-54. But the SC-54's where reaching their end-of-life and the HC-130's were not available. So the Air Force turned to surplus Boeing KC-97G's as an interim solution and 22 were converted. These had the refue

This is the Zvezda 1/72 C-130H built as an HC-130N Combat King search and rescue aircraft. The HC-130N is the current US Air Force search and rescue plane. It it more search than rescue but it can drop supplies, a rescue raft or even pararescue jumpers. In addition to the Zvezda kit I also used the: Blackbird HC-130H Hercules conversion BMA72009 Brengun Refueling Pods KC-130J BRL72223 Caracal USAF C-130 Hercules decal sheet CD72117 In addition I: Cut out the large observer windows in the lower fuselage Added the tracks for the exten

I responded, with another question on Britmodeller. Thanks

@Trojan Thunder I'm working on one of these using the Zvezda kit. Did you have any plans or drawings for the observers' windows, or did you just take an educated guess? Great build. I hope mine comes out half as well. Howard

Thanks

This is the Lift Here! Models 1/72 Cessna LC-126A. The LC-126A is the military version of the Cessna 195 Businessliner. and was used as a light transport and for search and rescue in Alaska. Lift Here! is a Serbian company that I had never heard of until I went searching for a 1/72 kit of the LC-126A for my Air Forces search and rescue collection. The box said "High Quality Resin" and I have certainly seen worse. Overall the resin quality was good with minimal pin holes. The fuselage, wings and floats were molded as single pieces. There were 2 vac windscreens and a resin buck so you could mold
