A place for our military aviation modellers to show their stuff. It may not be civil but it still has a home here

This is the 1/144 Academy C-130J-30. Originally tooled up by Minicraft. Not my usual scale for airlifters.

It was a straight forward and simple build. The part I always dread is decaling those walk ways. The kit was some shape issues (the engines) which I did not address. I added a Satellite Wi-Fi antenna which was the only mod carried out.

It is marked as A97-441 of 37 Squadron which was an aircraft that was deployed to the Middle East (with another C-130) for civilian evacuation of Aussie nationals when Israel attacked Lebanon. In the end civil aircraft were used to extract the people and the RAAF aircraft were not used.
