Truro Model Builder Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I suspect that for space reasons many of us will be limited to one C-130. That presents a huge problem in itself. Which one do we build??!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I served on the Hercules we went through 3 paint schemes, I’ll wait for the E to be released before I do the first scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeR Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 This is one of these kits where you're very tempted to get one, then you think "Where am I going to put it when it's built?" and reality ensues! Mike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheyJammedKenny! Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 A Serbian friend just told me to expect this baby at the end of August. Not sure the source or reliability of his information. We'll see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some extra wide shelves later.....! Plenty space when I'm done! Still need somewhere for the Revell AN-225 and, 1/72 B-36 though.....! 🙄 Allan Ps - I'd really prefer a stretched C-130 and/or a J model. Perhaps they will follow Pps - I'd really prefer even more an Antonov An-12 series! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may cancel my multiple order and only get one if that is the case, must be a mistake. Holy crap, must be an error, that’s $246 Cdn, I can buy two Tamiya 1/32 Spits for that price!
