Air Station Barbers Point and it's "HERCULES," the C-130J.
The US Coast Guard acquired it's first C-130 in 1959 and still maintains a fleet of 28 aircraft today. These multi engine aircraft are flown out of Clearwater Florida, Kodiak Alaska and Barber's Point Hawaii, utilized as long range patrol [...]
1/200 Hasegawa C-130 Blue Angels
So, many many years after I built a 1/200 C-130 for my wife's yearly Christmas ornament, I finally got around to using the alternate decals in that kit to make a white C-130 the Blues flew! One odd thing about that airframe is that the two [...]
Testors/Itlaeri 1/72 AC-130A Hercules Gunship
This kit fought me pretty much all the way through. Fit wasn't that great, so there was a lot of putty, sand, prime, repeat. The decals looked great, but turned out to be a very stressful part of the build. The glue was thick and [...]
RCAF CC-130J-30 'Stretched Hercules' in 1/72
This is a build from this spring - MultiCast's resin conversion (1/72) of the Italeri C-130 Hercules to an RCAF C-130J-30. The MultiCast set is great, beautifully molded, and the decals are world class.
I made things more difficult for [...]
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?

Lockheed C 130 J 30 Hercules, A97-464, 37 Sqn RAAF Richmond NSW 2001.
1/72 Italeri, my second C130, with my own fuselage and side pod extensions, I also extended the cargo floor, made my own spinners, re-profiled the engine cowls, modified the exhausts with plastic tube, moved the outer engines forward to [...]
Italeri C-130A Hercules, 36 SQN RAAF
As you may have figured out by now, I like to build larger aircraft types in 1/72.
This is the Italeri C-130E/H kit (1/72) built as a C-130A from 36SQN RAAF. Decals are from an Aussie Decals sheet and the A model propellers and fuel tanks [...]
