Lockheed C 130 E Hercules, A97-178, 37 Sqn Richmond NSW 1993.
1/72 Italeri, my third but not last C130, I moved the outer engines forward by 2mm to line up with the inner engines, modified the exhausts with plastic tube, added some antennae and navigation lights, finished in Model Master enamels, Aussie decals 50th anniversary of 37 Sqn and Future. Photo 5 shows fitting of wing spar, as I do with all my herc’s.

These models are terrific, Allan. What is the name for a collection of these? A host of Hercules or perhaps a herd of Hercules? Any ideas anyone?
Allan J Withers said on April 7, 2016
Thanks George, host sounds better than herd.

Great looking build Allan. You have done a marvelous job on this. Very interesting and eye catching paint scheme.
Allan J Withers said on April 7, 2016
Thanks Terry, I liked the look of this aircraft when I saw it in a magazine, also looks good without the blue tail, but I like anniversary schemes.
