Popular Post doxasg Posted February 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2023 Here are some pictures of my old classic them, a C-130H HERCULES in Hellenic Air Force duty. It is the old Italeri kit in scale 1/48 with pure detail components. The first job I did was to re-scribe all the panel lines. I included many photo etched items from Flightpath΄s detail set and Allison T-56 Turbine from Engines and Things. I scratch-built the radar antenna and avionic bays, all interior cockpit and cargo detail components, Auxiliary Power Unit and a lot of smaller scratch-building details. Rudder and flaps was cut and repositioned. I added 13 small 12V led for interior cargo and cockpit illumination. I painted the model in SEA camo, with Model Master colors: (medium Green, dark Green, dark Tan and light Grey) and finished it with extensive weathering. A lot of decals set was from Deco Products, representing an C-130H in H.A.F service, participate for E.U Force group mission in Libreville, Gabon in 2006. It was a great build and a challenge for me! I hope you enjoy my model. Giannis Doxas part 1... 107 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
