Dutch Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) I want to build a 1/144 scale kit of the EC-130E Coronet Solo / Volant Solo of the 193rd TEWS/ECS/SOS, PA ANG. I will be using the Minicraft C-130H as a base kit and need some detailed drawings or photos of the various dorsal, ventral and underwing antennae. Here is a photo of roughly what I want to build. Any help appreciated. K/r, Dutch Edited September 8, 2021 by Dutch add unit detail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Da SWO Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 1. See PM. 2. 193 SOW has a fakebok page, you can contact their PA (and an affiliated association IIRC). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted September 4, 2021 Author Share Posted September 4, 2021 Thank you Andy! Those photos are very helpful. DA SWO, thank you also for the PM. Looking forward to what you can provide. K/r, Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 Yes, Koen! Thank you for that photo! In almost all the photos I have, the two heat exchangers (port & starboard) are hidden behind the wings tanks or not included by virtue of the photo angle. So this photo is a boon! It also shows the shape of the rear fuselage antenna very nicely! K/r, Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElectroSoldier Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Ive got an EC-130E conversion but its in 1:72 not 1:144. Not sure how it helps you though as the instructions are rather basic to say the least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
