Minicraft 1:144 C-130 gunship
Nice little kit but smoothing in the big windshield area was challenging. Built it to compliment a Hasagawa 1:200 C-130. Is a 1:72 next?

Nice (little?) build, Dennis – what’s the wingspan in inches?
George Williams said on March 27, 2017
Hi Craig, according to Wikipedia the wingspan is 132 feet 7 inches, divided by 144 equals a fraction over 11 inches, assuming that Minicraft got their sums right.

Thanks, George….a little bigger than I’d imagined it would be in that scale.

You did a nice job on that semi-sows-ear of a kit Dennis.

Pretty impressive in this scale, Dennis, but, yeah, why not go for 1/72 next time.

Nice – I only build 1/72, but as of yet haven’t added one of these to the stash just because they are HUGE!

No matter what scale , the C-130 has always been an impressive aircraft.
Your model with no doubt shows this.
Very nice work Dennis.

Nice build Dennis. These gunships pack a punch! I would like to build one myself one day.
