RAF Hercules in 1/144th question

[keithjs]

Following on from my Beverley and Argosy builds I was thinking of building a brown/tan RAF C-130K (1968/69) to go with them.

Is it possible to use any of the Minicraft kits or are there things 'exclusive' to C-130K's. Decals are not a problem obviously.

I know there's the Welsh Models one but I'm not keen on vacforms.

Thanks in advance.

I would also like to know the answer to this one.   I have a fair few Minicraft and a couple of Revell C-130's and would like to build one in RAF markings.

Externally the C-130Ks were very much identical to the E and H models, only having UK-supplied avionics and equipment IIRC.  I think the freight hold floor in the K differed from its compatriots (roller mat?) to facilitate low-altitude load extraction by parachute.
