71chally Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I would need to find the picture again, it's not part of a display and parked north side, from memory not near the BOB show dates either. Diversion is certainly a good possibility though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britman Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 144th is great if you have multiple builds in mind and not so much storage for completed models. Regards the current offerings,they are still too expensive and I would hope a Zveda or Roden kit might be cheaper. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally I was going to use mine on 2 Herk’s, however my second Herk is in 3 shades of camouflage, and OOB, and I don’t know if they would even be noticeable (ceiling dweller). I checked my pile of Herk goodies, and there’s just 2 left, so you must have 2. I wonder if I posted it on Scalemates as a new release, Arma Models might get with it! Lots of Zvezda Herk owners out there. Hi Jeff, Took me until now to check, you did send me two! Not that I doubted your memory. I just watched a YouTube build of the Zveda Hercules, the builder had these rivet decals and they didn’t work well. They aren’t prominent enough under a coat of paint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are going to be a lot easier and less hassle than the decals. I recently spotted riveting tools on Scalemates, that were pretty much identical to the Rosie the Riveter, with the exception of a plastic engraved handle instead of the original wooden handle. They are also made in Czech Republic. I believe the owner of Rosie the Riveter passed away recently, maybe this person has carried it on.

Mine were purchased from eBay seller ekatsmir, whom is no longer a registered user. I can’t even find Arma Models (Russia) anymore in a google search. I have one set left, which I won’t be using, as I have purchased a set of Rosie the Riveter tools. Practicing with them, I find them much easier to use than I thought, and faster. if you’re still interested in the rivet decal set, I will part with my last one for what I paid for it plus shipping. PM me if you want them. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m betting those rivet decals will work well for a natural metal scheme or silver scheme. Edited April 18, 2022 by Scooby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrB17 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Rivet placement instructions for @128fiddler I will post a scan of the now unavailable rivet decals as soon as I can get it scanned. If you can scan the decal sheet and post it here @Scooby that would be a help, otherwise I have to wait for my daughter, as my scanner is unavailable right now. I am not sure what the heavy black rectangular areas are on the fuselage, behind the paradoors and under the tail behind the cargo door. I don’t recall seeing anything like that back in my C-130 days. Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Those are slime lights found on US Hercs, for any other Herc they need to be cut-out and replaced with something to replace the lost rivets in that area. I’m disappointed they were added as very few Hercs before the J had slime lights. Edited April 20, 2022 by Scooby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieGolf2009 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Gents, about this: has anyone tried to work around Zvezda's C-130J-30 in order to make an H-30? I confess that I've been too lazy to go into my stash and see if Zvezda's C-130H wings (and other parts) could be used to make a stretched "classic" Herk. ☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have both kits at home, I will check this afternoon but I am 100% sure it will work. And... what bloody brilliant Hercules kits they gave us, I liked the Italeri kits, I LOVED the Airfix kits but these Zvezda kits are godsend.
