C-130 seats and interior?


Recommended Posts

The closest anybody came to a 1/72 C-130 detailed interior is the Flightpath C-130 Hercules Detail Set (FP-72-103A).

It doesn't do all the cargo bay seats, only a few.

There is also the Eduard C-130 Interior PE set, seatbelt set & cargo floor set:

Or, you could get the Eduard BIG-ED set:

You can look on the Eduard site, for downloadable PDF instructions, to see what's included.

I've never seen a C130 with a center row of seats! New one on me, and I rode in several. The canvas side seats would be fairly easy to scratch build, but the five point harness might be the tipping point!

I also rode in a few and on most SQN deployments the centre seats were installed most of the time, had to get on board early to avoid the ones around the gear wells where the legroom was worse than usual.

always rode in those minimalistic canvas seats. Was scared to death with all that noise going on back there! I actually kissed the concrete runway in Chu Lai when we landed. vowed I'd never fly in one of them again, and six weeks later I'm headed to Phu Bai in the middle of the monsoon. Told the first sargent that this better turn out well, or we're gonna end this right after we get outta this contraption. Flight was just fine in the misty rain, but things went bad thirty seconds after we touched down. Got outta there with the plane looking like Fearless Fosdick in a gun battle! Between all the holes and the messed up ramp; I imagine it spent a lot of time in the body and fender shop<g>!

Three weeks later, and I gotta go back to Cam Rhon to sign my pay records. We drive up to Chu Lai and they have a plane leaving in twenty minutes. You guessed it, a C130! We got into a knock down drag out brawl on the runway. I ended up in a converted DC3, and it's still the best flight I ever was on (except for the smell). I flew back on a C123, and never balked about a C130 again. A week or so later I watched that same C123 fly strait into the side of a mountain. Just wasn't my time.

RAAF C-130s were/are often fitted with the centre seats up to three sections back from the FS245 bulkhead when troops and cargo are carried. There are so many variations of C-130 interior you could set up, it's not funny and most are configurable in-flight (I've re-rigged a few en-route to the next task in my time). At least you can now buy ready-made seating in 1/72 scale for it here.
