Truro Model Builder Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 14 hours ago, RidgeRunner said: Surely their obvious option is to go for an H-model, thus covering a wealth of markings opportunities as well as a plethora of variant possibilities? I understand the allegiance to the K-model but it wouldn't make commercial sense, given the limited potential it would present. Don't get me wrong, I am a Herc lover, but I think for the greater good the more popular machine has to take priority. Martin I think it is fair to say that any C-130H kit can be made into an early C. Mk.1 without too much difficulty. A C-130K does not have to be a separate kit, though the IFR probe and wingtip ECM pods would be a pleasant addition to the parts total. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For more Batman C-130 fun you need Maximus Air Cargo markings for the 'Fulton' recovery scene in The Dark Knight (2008) Christopher Nolan loves his Herks!

You may find it was a Bandeirante rather than a Jetstream. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXANTOMCAT Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) OK to be specific the flying aircraft was a Bandeirante - the fuselage and cockpit they dismembered and used for filming was a Jetstream G-UIST https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-18114689 Edited November 19, 2019 by TEXANTOMCAT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDragon Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Sad the Jetstream was cut up, used to see it regularly at Edinburgh. The Bandeirante used for the flying sequence was ZS-NVB of Batair Charter which crashed sadly killing it's crew in Botswana a few years after it's movie appearance. The interior shots were in G-UIST, much more circular cross section than an EMB 110 and the actors were standing upright which you can't do in a bandeirante unless you're very short!

Max Headroom Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Since we’re veering wildly off-topic, where have all the Bandeirantes gone? They seemed to be absolutely everywhere in the 80’s. Veering wildly back on topic, assuming Zvezda do a vanilla unstretched H, what external differences are we looking for to do a B, E and K?

The resin is very brittle and no instructions or deals were included in the kit. I recall Liberty released one in 1/72 in 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Still out there, you can skydive from them in some countries, used for cargo in the danger areas and still in use in the poorer countries... a superb aircaft. Hoping to get a jump from one in the next two years. Anyway, this C-130...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering if you check the Italeri website of dimension details, their C-130 kits range from 39.5 - 41.3cm which represent the standard length models of the C-130. Yes so 38.5cm is short for both the J and definitely short for the J-30. Published length for the C-130J is 29.3m which equates to 40.7cm in 72nd scale and the J-30 is 34.6m which is 48cm.

Could be a Typo or translation error and we will have to wait and see what news actually appears on about this kit as it develops as the person designing the catalogue probably wasn't given a great deal of info about the kit at this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't personally think the choice of version will make much difference. Herc fans will surely buy it anyway?With so many variants to choose from, I would not be surprised if this was the merely the first in a range of C-130 kits. Patience my friend!😊 I would actually like the original A version with the "roman" nose or, one of the stretched variants! 5 hours ago, gavingav said: They could be making multiple versions and companies never make the most popular version the first release, they release the lesser versions so you will buy that in your excitement then go back and buy a 2nd kit when the actual version you want comes out a year or two later - how many times have we all been stung with that marketing ploy . Too many times to mention however, may I respectfully suggest that one substitutes "latest" or "current" for "lesser"? I know it's arguing over semantics but, I think that versions like the MC-130 Combat Talon and, RC-130 might be more appropriately be deemed "lesser"?😉😊( no less important though but,maybe Just not so well known?) Just me of course but, I think it only natural that the current production version be chosen for the first kit! Allan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalea Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) It's taken 45 years for the Potez 540 to be released in my favourite markings. There weren't too many versions of it, gavingav. 60 years in the case of the Bristol 170.
