Dutch Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) 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).

Kingoalie Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Are you in need of the longer sponsons? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) 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. Edited July 2, 2019 by Dutch correction Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trojan Thunder Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 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.
