fasteagle12 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) Does anyone make an aftermarket set to update my old 1/72 Esci/Ertl kit? If so, where would I find it. Please let me know. Thanks, Gary Edited May 28, 2020 by fasteagle12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have several of their C-130 products, and they are top notch. Edited May 28, 2020 by HERC164 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fasteagle12 Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Thanks! I called myself looking, but obviously missed this one. Any idea in today's world how long it would take to get it to me in the US from there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HERC164 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 It does take a while, my last order was on April 2nd, and is showing an estimated delivery of yesterday...but that didn't happen. I expect it will be here in the next couple of days. Seller does provide tracking information though. I would say around 2 months, with the current situation, previous orders only took 3-4 weeks. Hope this helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fasteagle12 Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Looking at the photos in the link, the set has 8 blades for the H model. I'm looking for the J model that has 6 blades. Guess I'll keep looking. Thanks for the site though. I'll be looking at it more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It does not include blades, just hubs. You need to use the kit blades with the replacement engine/hub. @fasteagle12, if you are updating an Esci kit then you need to replace the engine nacelles as well. I did on mine (AMT AC-130 in fact) And you need the replacement right hand sponson and forward ECS intakes as well Edited June 2, 2020 by Trojan Thunder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Nice, Ray! I see you have a few more Herks on the "production line." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed, they have been hanging around the bench for a while, both started before the AC-130H I recently finished, with a possible other one to be started (Italeri , updated to a C-130H), or maybe 2!
