It's a bit of a long read but have a look here: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/hyperscale/icm-1-48-b-26b-k-8-gun-nose-t526837.html -
I noticed those but they were actually of XV234, not XV241.

This Herc is not with the USMC, who have phased out all the KC-130T(-30)s, but with the US Navy. There were only two -30s. Since the USN doesn't use these aircraft for refuelling they have removed the Sargent Fletcher pods.

Nice fictional serial on the Italian Herc, it should be MM62194.

That's right!

Actually the C-130B does not use underwing fuel tanks.

The RNLAF is part of the European Air Transport Command and they will soon be very A400M-heavy so the C-130 would make much more sense, and they are cheaper to buy and operate. The RNLAF is also one of the partners in the Heavy Airlift Wing that operates the C-17s out of Papá in Hungary. None of the A400M users are part of HAW and C-17s and C-130s makes for a more balanced fleet than A400Ms and C-17s IMO. https://eatc-mil.com/en/who-we-are/the-eatc

Sorry I misread your comment, somehow I read that the replacement would likely be the A400M!
-
Where did you read the rumours about the replacement being the A400M?

The MC-130 noses are completely different. These are just variations of the normal radome, probably two versions with fairing and one without like these: No fairing: Fairing type one with duct: Fairing without duct:

Not quite, the weapons are for the AC-130H. The J-model does not use the Bofors 40mm or M61s. Someone just used some random artwork I think.

Cool!
