BWDenver Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 (edited) Completely agree! I’ve seen BOB in a few places, NAS Washington and at NAS Glenview where it was based at the time. The accompanying shot was taken on a rather chilly day in February 1990. I was doing a currency tour out of FT Sheridan, but the Reserve ASF was at Glenview. Loved walking the rank and getting shots. Completely agree! I’ve seen BOB in a few places, NAS Washington and at NAS Glenview where it was based. No 4 eng pack & prop and spinner are interesting....

Jay Barfoot Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 (edited) Got a few instructor hrs on BOB when it came through the AATTC at St. Joe in the mid to late 90s. Of course, it had been repainted in low-vis gray by then. Edited July 8 by Jay Barfoot Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 (edited) The Navy/Marines C-130 sheet that was meant to follow CD72117 is long overdue-I will finalize it soon and Bob will certainly be on it. Edited July 11 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Us braille scalers could sure use a C-130 sheet in 1/144. There is just the one sheet for RAF Herky Birds but nothing for US Navy/Air Force/ANG/AFRES.... Trying to politely put this out there. Please sir???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Brother Don, Don't forget to add USMC Battle Herks to the list of 1/144 scale C-130 decal requests to go along with US Navy/Air Force/ANG/AFRES. K/r, Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AD-4N Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 With the apparent success of Caracal's Sikorsky H-34 sheets, I vote for H-19 sheet reprint to go with the new 1/48 AMP kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Roden is re-releasing their C-141B kit. Since this sheet sold out, here's an opportunity for a reprint or, better yet, a Starlifter Part 2 sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kernsc Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 The Connecticut anniversary scheme C-130H was on center stage at Oshkosh this year. Would make for a cool build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ah, I didn't realize that as I'm a 1/48 guy. Great, you already have the artwork! Can you include that on your next 1/48 Herc sheet? I doubt the 1/48 C-130 sheets sell a ton as that's not a model that folks are going to build many times over. That said, there aren't many decal options out there so I snapped up your C-130H sheet. I suggest that next time you do a 1/48 Herc, you mix up H, J, and Gunship models on the same sheet, plus a mix of Guard and "regular" active units (Rammstein, please!). I pretty much expect to throw away the decals from any Italeri kit. Speaking of which, the JA-39 Grippen is not well covered by aftermarket decals. Also, I've just realized there are very few (good) aftermarket decals for SB2C Helldivers I also sounds like Z-M has Recce Phantoms in the pipeline, so adding more options there would likely sell well as those kits are release. The excellent AirDoc USAFE and German recce birds are long out of print. I wish I could build models as fast you release interesting decals options! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
