This will be a single Model release thread for all my new C-130 kits
(There is a separate thread for AC-130 Gunship kits here)

First C-130 kit is actually an earlier special request.
We might see a build (from our own texman)...soon I hope?

64-0539 Sharkmouth C-130



Kit includes full boxed Landing gear, long range Fuel tanks, detailed markings and noseart.

Finished model has a 33" wingspan (at 1/48 scale)
Heres a couple of sample pages...

COOOOOOL! Shark Mouth. I totally dip aircraft with Shark Mouth!

My second C-130 release was a fun model
that I had my eye on for some time.

this Royal Thai Air Force C-130 was decorAted
for the 30th anniversary of Hercules service with the RTAF
and includes some fantastic colourful tail graphics!



I have done my best to recreate the tail artwork, as well as all other Royal Thai colours
and markings.

Should be available shortly at ecardmodels.com

Yes Dave, there is a Flying Tiger -130 coming. But, I needed a break from "all air all the time", and am working on the Russian MT-LB now.

UPDATES:

small hiccup with the Sharkmouth kit....security settings did not allow for the PDF to print!
I have fixed this and sent off a new file to ecardmodels.


...........................

I have been fiddling about with a simple idea for a the C-130 kit.

For those who like to set up Diorama and static displays,
I have created an Engine Nacelle (for the C-130) with open service panels.

Actually the one large service panel on the side of the outboard engine housings.

The optional parts include the two necessary nacelle parts (to swap out)
and the parts to make the open access doors.
Build process is exactly the same, and it just uses some photo-graphics
to create the illusion of an open service panel.

...the parts will allow you to change one, or both, Outboard engines.



So, I have added it to the Sharkmouth C130 kit
and the new Fat Albert C130 kit.
I'll probably include it with any more C-130 kits I produce.
