Looks rather simple to make. I assume they are at the exact same point on both port and starboard sides with a simple seat facing the window? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aircommando130 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Yes...same position left and right and the seats were adjustable. Face forward for takeoff and land and could turn and face the window or rotate to look aft if you wanted too. Both seats were mounted on a pedestal with rails to move forward and aft.

aircommando130 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 That was the old HC/MC at Kirtland! I have a lot of hours training loadmaster students on that fuselage trainer. Cheers...Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You didn't ask, but here ya go anyway: Chaff and flares on the side, @aircommando130 iirc, these are towards the rear of the sponson? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aircommando130 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 If you're building a HC from way back...Gray with the yellow bands around the fuselage and wing tips they didn't have any defensive systems yet. No chaff/flare or RWR for radar threats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Maybe this other ARC Forum thread will help with the flare rails. Or just check out HC-130H / N / P on airliners.net, several good photos there. K/r, Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElectroSoldier Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 Im not sure what colour scheme I want to build really. Its between the early overall grey with a yellow band or the SEA scheme. I could do either as I have both sets of decals for the HH-53C I intend on displaying it with. I do know I want to do a version that still had the whiskers for the Fulton STARS recovery system.
