    Martin Baker's pair of Meteors comes to mind.

    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.

    Or here on BM!

    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!
  13. KoenL
    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!

    Hope it's ok to share this here. Apologies if not: Like other museums the Helicopter Museum in Weston-super-Mare is struggling during these hard times. A gofundme fundraising appeal has been started to give them a helping hand: https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-helicopter-museum-an-appeal?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&fbclid=IwAR0Ke1AJsHm76Jhq7-7px0GzIsdtLUedFkcKGFgiYNPKZgs7SYd9d_8QRVM Thanks, Koen (not in any way associated with the museum)

    The port side sponson shown looks like the early type as well by the way.
  19. KoenL
    Actually the CAD posted on Facebook shows both types of sponson. This is the earlier:

    Hopefully with the correct 'sit', as it looks like ICM used a very light museum piece for their research.

    Not hard to get something more accurate looking than the Italeri kits, then again it is Trumpyboss!

    The Italeri kit is a MC-130E. Quite a few webshops list it incorrectly as 'MC-130H'. https://www.italeri.com/en/product/2452

    Very nice! I'm from Eindhoven and I'm fairly sure that picture wasn't taken in my city though. EDIT: It appears the picture was taken in Münster, Germany

    Here's another such example, from the McDonnell Douglas F-4 "Phantom II" Facebook group:
