milli21 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 The box shaped object just in front of the para door is the IRCM. Infra red counter measures. Which was used on RAF C130Ks but got replaced by better versions mounted on the fuselage sides aft of the para doors. I believe the jungly Sea Kings used the IRCM too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Rhodes Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Beautiful clean work. Would love to know your secrets, did you cut or file the inboard wing engine-section back? Darren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to know your secrets, did you cut or file the inboard wing engine-section back? Darren Darren, i have a horizontal disk sander, once the table was set at 90 degrees i carefully removed the first 1.5mm ish then the rest was done with some abrasive paper fixed to a flat bit of wood, the wood is flat and you can just push across the surface in one motion slowly bringing down the material, i also used a 12" rule to maintain the relationship to the outboard engine, you have to make sure that they are both square to each other or you will be a in a pickle, basically i used the rule a straight edge held across the front of the two engines mounts. Dont try going into the wing on the inboard engine as it will never work, with the 2.5mm gone the face on the inboard and outboard line up perfectly, this means that the engines will be parallel too. Thank for looking. Danny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly, Attack Squadron's done an incredible job with 'em resin nacelle correction set 'n' other stuff related to 'em Albert kit. One thing tho, 'n' me hopes it ain't late for it, but the compressor face of 'em turbine will hardly be visible as such; there's a duct which splits-S upwards almost halfway inside the nacelle before the blades. This is yet another mistake in 'em Testors/Italeri kit. Otherwise, all is good. Followin' yer build. Cheers, Unc2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milli21 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 The small box shape on the rear of the external tank pylon is a chaff/flare dispenser. These are present on most c130s that have external tanks with a flare/chaff countermeasures system. Cracking work so far.

Cheers, Unc2 No not glued together yet, i will have a look at some images and see what i find, i just do not want to leave an open void so some detail is required, good tip though. If all else fails i will just put in the intake covers, i will check Steel Beech or just make some, maybe the best solution.

Watching with interest Yep, i have been doing some research on the ALE-39 Dispensers, attack squadron even make a 1/48 resin set so no problems there, the fuel tank pylon dispensers on the Harvest Hawk seem to be blanked off but i have a drawing showing the other positions so i need to check if they are in use on this bird and then replicate. Thanks for the assist. Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that the engine faces of 'em nacelles 'n' blades ain't glued yet. Me's here to try 'n' help ya with some piccies; 'course it's totally up to ye to do whut ya please, if ya want 'em intake covers to go instead, but the correction is nay so difficult to make. This is how the intake ramp looks when it's freed from all 'em internal hardware. Y'see that the ramp goes up a tad before it joins 'em duct inside? That's how the duct splits-S inside 'em nacelle to meet the compressor blades; y'see how far back it goes inside 'em nacelle before the blades can be seen? Me thinks that the Testors/Italeri blade faces a quite bigger than 'em real ones anyways. That's how the duct splits-s a lil' more clearer. This is why me tells ye that I don't think the compressor blades would be seen from outside of 'em intake. To replicate 'em duct is nay easy, but it's only one duct ya'll need to make, then copy it four times. I made mine by carvin' 'em outa balsa wood 'n' to then vac-form 'em halves separately for each one of 'em. Anythin' me can be of help, let me know.

I have loads of images to work through yet so I will no doubt get the result I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tail and rear pylons don't really get used 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
