Recommended Posts

Does anyone know for certain which Minicraft 1/144 C-130 Hercules kits contain the C-130H/J long wheel sponsons?

I know that the WC-130J & C-130J-30 kits do (see red print below).  Just wondering which others have them included?

Is 1:144 Lockheed Martin C-130J (Minicraft Model Kits 14737) a standard length or stretched C-130?

 

Nevermind.  I just figured it out - standard length C-130J, ala the WC-130J boxing.

They have also done the stretched version:

 

Fun fact 1. The RAAF only operates the C-130J-30 (stretched).

Fun Fact 2. The Australian imported of Minicraft kits decided that they would not bring the stretched version of the C-130 kit into Austral because they would not sell!  When we only operate the stretched version why would they not?

Fun Fact 3. So if an Aussie modeller wants the  Minicraft C-130J-30 then they have to get it overseas.
