1/72 Zvezda C-130J-30 Hercules 37th Airlift Squadron

[keavdog]

Wow what an experience. Were you droping airborne on D-Day in your head? Flak bursts all around

[keavdog]

Very nice start Keyda! Love me some C-130's. Can't wait to see this build cause I've always wanted do a J version.

Me to, but the kc-130j harvest hawk

Okay... Hannants had a used 1/72 Italeri C-130J for a great price, even with shipping so I ordered it along with the decals for 352 squadron out of Miramar. The KC-130j conversion from Brengun is on order as well - Harvest Hawk on the way.
I blame you Keyda

Who me? There is just something about a Herc.

You're not helping keep my stash down.

[Duke Maddog]

Hey, I want a C-130J as well; several in fact so I can make a British, American and Italian one. Given my situation, that is quite the pipe dream.

I am looking forward to seeing this project!

You look great in the left seat, just like you belong there!

I'm gonna have to check out Hannants site more often

Thanks! It took a while to get up in that seat, but it was well worth the wait.

You guys are hilarious, don't give me any more websites to go to, I do not need anymore kits! Thinking about selling some off honestly. Mostly because I have no where near enough space to display that many once done.

The weather has been nice in my neck of the woods the last several days, so I've been taking advantage of it, and doing some stuff outside, leaf clean up, washing my truck, etc. So I haven't spent much time at the bench. Planning on a few hours this morning anyway, so hopefully I'll have something to report later on today.

[keyda81]

Managed a few hours at the bench this morning, before going outside and doing more yard work.

Finished up the cargo floor, and the lift gate floor the other day.



Installed base interior pieces, then the seats, and other little fiddly bits on the right side of the fuselage.





Seems a bit bare and boring on the inside, but I suppose that doesn't matter when it's all going to be closed up, and you won't see anything anyway.

[Stikpusher]

Looks good in there Keyda. From what I remember, there were some odds & ends hung up inside along the sides - aircrew parachutes, brooms for sweeping out the interior, etc.

You could always add this touch to the door platforms
