Lockheed C-130H Hercules incl RAAF Decals

1/72 scale injected plastic construction model kit.

2021 NEW TOOL KIT.

This special Australian market only edition includes importer arranged decals for A97-007 of No. 37 Sqn, RAAF Base Richmond, 2011.

Previous C-130 kits on the market have accuracy issues, some which can be corrected with aftermarket sets, but others which would require more effort than the model is worth.  No 1/72 kit correctly represented the C-130H, again, the aftermarket industry was required to help.  Long overdue is this accurate C-130H.  Also offers a C-130E option.

-  Flight deck with optional seated crew figures.

-  Fuselage inserts for forward fuselage for different port hole configurations.

-  Highly  Detailed main wheel wells, Weighted Wheels.

-  T56A-15 engine nacelles with compressor faces inside intake ducts.

-  The prop hubs are molded separately from the blades which means you can build them in low pitch (ground ops) or feathered.

-  Three radomes included: original, original with a few added lightning arrestors, original with many lightning arrestor strips.
