I have a 1/48th sheet with the Entebbe Raiders
-
After seeing the Edwards flight test 104's with day-glow orange on them and now in SEA cammo
and the refueling probe on it really looks different! I do see a C-123 Provider in the background too!
Cheers...Ron

Israeli Air Force had a cool desert scheme...the Entebbe raiders! The Hercules finest hour!
The RAF desert scheme with the black bottom and white cap over the flight deck was cool as well!

Nice 707 collection! I have a 72nd E-3 to build as an A model...really want to build it refueling from
a 72nd KC-135A. Would be a big display but cool to look at! Great job on that E-8 JSTARS.
Cheers....Ron

Would love some NASA F-18 decals in 32nd scale tooooooo!

Revell C5A Galaxy. I was "Kursing" as I applied the walkway stripes . . . . The decal film is probably around around 1/32" wide. VERY delicate, but I persevered and over the course of a week, decaled the model.
I was a C-5A loadmaster in the 22nd Military Airlift Squadron from 1975-1980. I've got time in that tail and in that paint scheme...my favorite of the "Big Jet"
schemes! Great job! Oh...and nothing like the howl of those old TF-39 engines either!

Awesomeness!

Phantastic Phantom! A little clean for a Marine bird...but I like it!
Cheers....Ron

If you're building a HC from way back...Gray with the yellow bands around the fuselage and wing tips
they didn't have any defensive systems yet. No chaff/flare or RWR for radar threats.
-
That was the old HC/MC at Kirtland! I have a lot of hours training
loadmaster students on that fuselage trainer.

Yes...same position left and right and the seats were adjustable. Face forward for takeoff
and land and could turn and face the window or rotate to look aft if you wanted too. Both seats
were mounted on a pedestal with rails to move forward and aft.
-
The big scanner windows up front are 22" x 16" left and right side.
There are scanner seats at both positions inside. They are the same
as the navigator seats.
-
The J kit you have also has the H model left front wheel sponson with the APU.
You need the one from the E model kit with the GTC sponson. You need C-130E/H
engines with the 4 blade props as well.
Cheers...Ron

Yes...The HC-130H,N and P had flare launcher tubes in the cargo door.
Two rows of them...5 each row.
-
WOW! That's awesome! I bet they were very touched to get the Voodoo
as a memory of him. And "thank you" for your service as a police officer!
Cheers...Ron

Didn't see the square troop door window option or the GTC
sponson for the left wheel well. Everything else looks vintage
C-130E. Minus the engines/props of course!

Did the P have Bensen tanks?
The HC-130H/P/N all could carry Bensen Tanks.

The side windows up front are 22" x 16"
Cheers...Ron
-
I have the window dimensions...have to look for it. The E/H engines will work.
The differences are internal. Does that J kit have the E GTC left wheel sponson?
And the HC didn't have the air conditioning scoop on the right wheel well or the
intake up front on the right. It was just the old NACA ducts. Inside the big windows
up front on the right was a scanner seat...like on the flight deck. The right side had
a scanner seat and the control station for the tracker dome on top the fuselage.

Love those adversary A-4's! Great job! Wish somebody would put out a new 32nd
scale A-4 Aggressor sheet!
Cheers...Ron
-
The only things missing are the LOX frost and the voice of Jack King...Apollo Launch Control!
Cheers...Ron

That SEA scheme looks really good on the F-16!
-
Don't forget the big side windows up front and the ODS rails on the cargo door. Square troop door windows too. They had -15 engines
but that was the same engine cowling as the -7 used on the C-130E. When you build the flight deck the navigator and radio operator
were staggered on the right side...no bunks like on the E model. The P model still had the GTC...no APU so use the kit left front
wheel sponson.
