ARKHERKYLOAD Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Sorry agian for the small words in above post. Hopefully you can figure it out. I hate so bad the restrictions on these post. If anyone needs to know what it says let me know. Below is the badge for the 314th on the Banana Birds they were in black on the side of the plane. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ARKHERKYLOAD Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) Also I think a question was asked about the color of the panel at towards the top of the tail. It shows as natural metal. And on the Euro one scheme at least on my units planes the panel was just painted to match the color of the rest of the tail.

ARKHERKYLOAD Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 On last thing a request to Mr Kursad to please consider my units markings if you are including a Euro One schemed plane. Our units planes had the most colorful markings ever put on the euro one scheme. And we had one aircraft with darker green paint scheme. Of course i can send a disk with high res photos of all our planes. Thanks for the consideration. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Though I doubt many, if any, will attempt such a kitbash. I notice that their listing of 1/72 C-130 decals doesn't bother to mention the Royal Thai Air Force C-130 decals put out by JEAB & Siam Scale. Maybe one of these days I will scan them & put them up on Scalemates. Larry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Authoritative sources indicate it is actually 1/76 scale. Scalemates - Airfix Bristol Bloodhound Thanks for the info. Did not know that. I see there is now another kit of the Bloodhound but it is a big one with an associated big price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Larry Larry, I wouldn't be too upset with the Definitive 1/72 Scale Index, as some pages have not been updated in years, several years. K/r, Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However, most of the decals I mentioned were printed way before 2004. I will continue to do research on my own, using Duck Duck Go, (or other search methods) instead of Google.

mungo1974 Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Any updates on this one Kursad? Eager to know how many Herks i need to add to the stash Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) Still working on the layout - I will finalize the list of options this week. Folks, would you like to see the JC-130B 58-0750 on this sheet? This one has the comms "hump" on it and I am not sure about the availability of aftermarket parts for it. But I wanted to design artwork for this airframe since Grant posted a few very nice photos of it here at ARC some years ago; and I immediately saved them with the intention of making decals for it. But that tail art takes a lot of space, so it is either that JC-130B on the sheet or a couple more TAC-era SEA-camouflaged Hercs with white tail codes. By the way, this first sheet will end up being a USAF-only sheet - it looks like I will do a USN/USMC/Coast Guard sheet later in the year.

mungo1974 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I believe the Vac Form "Comms" hump that Flightpath produced is still available if you want the JC-130B. Just looking forward to seeing what options are on the USAF sheet,the fact you've said there will be a follow up sheet covering USN/USMC/USCG means I'll have to stock up for sure.

Dutch Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) Kursad, If you are refering to the AN/ARD-17 radome on the JC-130B 58-0750 with the falling star logo on the tail, it is readily available in several forms. Esci included it in their Hercules kit (both ANG/SpAF release and their RAF release), Airmodel (2 or 3x) & Falcon vacuform conversions, and in resin from Blackbird Models.

Dutch Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Sure! Both Falcon and Blackbird Models can be obtained new. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
