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

Italeri 1/72 KC-130J Harvest Hawk

Postby RayS » Tue Apr 21, 2020 9:33 pm

This kit started as an Italeri C-130E/H and along the way I

1. Re-scribed the model,
2. Reposition cabin windows for a J model,
3. Added Hamilton Hobbies Sponson extensions, ECS inlet and duck tail (from the C-130H Update set) ,
4. Replace the kit engines with Jen's Bits AE2000 engines and props,
5. Added Attack Squadron Harvest Hawk conversion,
6. Added Various scratch built antennas and pitot probes,
7. Masked and painted the walkway markings, and
8. Used Wolfpak Decals 72-117 Aces High for USMC KC-130J, Bu No166511 of VMGR-252 "Otis"

There are still a few minor details to sort but I will get to them one day
