I wasn't originally planning on building this beast, but I got the Swedish Air Force decals for free and now need to have something to put them on.

Dave Norman added a new photoalbum.
Dave NormanWell finally calling this project finished. What started out as a simple seam repair and paint touch up before xmas, turned into a complete paint strip and repaint. Had to replace some of the cockpit glazing which wasn't completely successful but was better than the kristal klear I used 30 years ago. Luckily a friend had the same decal sheet I used all those years ago. Very happy with the finished result and goes to prove old models can be made good again

AugieDavid, You cant just bolt on 6 blade props to make a J, the whole Engine nacelle is different.
25. January, 14:50
David WAugie, wanted to try & scratch build since I already had a kit, but will will pick up a new J kit.
25. January, 14:54
AugieMost of it would work, but would need replacement donks, and nacelles. Other than that differences are minor
25. January, 16:13
Ray SeppalaOn my KC-130J build (album and project under my profile), I started with the base Italeri C-130E/H (KC-130F boxing which just has different decals) kit, I added J models engines, longer sponsons, modified exhausts and various J specific antennas and EWSP kit. @David W, if you want to build an Israeli C-130J you will also need to stretch it. Wingman and Multicast did the set which included fuselage plugs, engines & Props, antennas and decals for an Israeli version. @Augie, the main landing gear sponsons are also short and need modifying/extending, again see my album.
26. January, 05:58
David W@Ray.. Thanks for the info Ray. I was looking at the Indian Air Force C-130J. Much similar to the Israeli one with stretched fuselage & antenna arrays, but also with mid-air refueling probe. Much appreciated. Will follow your tips.
26. January, 16:49
26. January, 17:01
Ray Seppala@David W, when I saw IAF for some reason I starlight away though Israeli Air Force! I don't think there is much difference between different Air Force C-130J-30s except for minor changes to antenna fit.
27. January, 04:52
David WYup. I can't get a proper match on the grey shade though. It's called Tipnis Grey - a mix b/w Dove Grey & another shade of grey that's bluish or hazy depending on the light.

Greg BakerHey guys. I just bought this kit and was disappointed to find out that it only comes with 3-bladed props. I was hoping for 4-bladed ones and thought there was a choice because I know some boxings have both sets. I guess I didn't do my homework before buying, but now I'm in a bit of a jam. Does anyone have a spare set of 4-bladed ones they'd be willing to part with for a reasonable price/trade?
21. August 2019, 23:18
Nathan DempseyI just checked my J model, but it only has the new 6-bladed props. Sorry!
21. August 2019, 23:24

22. August 2019, 22:38
Greg BakerI also decided to get the telemarketer approach and spam PM'ed everyone who has the C-130A box with the double propeller sprues in the hopes that a bit of targeted begging would help.
23. August 2019, 02:56
23. August 2019, 11:21
Greg BakerWell. One can only hope. I know I should've done my homework but I just assumed the "A" would come with a choice after I read a review of the earlier boxing. Oh, well. I've also sent a email plea to Minicraft to see if they'll take pity on me and sell me the sprue. It seems they'll offer the service if a part is missing or damaged, so it's not a huge jump from there to here. Fingers crossed.
23. August 2019, 11:27
Derek HuggettGreg - May I humbly suggest you have a look at Welsh Models website (welshmodels.co) here in the UK and check under their 1/144 Accessories listing? Might possibly be of interest?

DutchThanks fellas. I have heard that because of the way Draw Decals are printed, they do not respond to decal setting solutions, but will respond to very hot water [almost boiling]! We will see how they bend around the nose and tail. Have to back date the kit to L-100-30 first. R/ Dutch

Peter RoehrichLooks like a great kit. I've always wondered two things about this aircraft. First, I would think that firing the gun on the left side cause the aircraft to jolt violently to the right. I believe it's 105 mm, which gives tanks a sizable recoil, so I can only imagine what it does to a plane in flight. Second, I wonder whether having all of the armament on the left side of the aircraft put unilateral stress on the airframe.
Anyway, it should be a great build!
26. December 2018, 16:58
Frank KrauseSeems the plane isn't moving at all, when the Canon is fired. As from Minute 4 you can see, when the Canon is fired.
Youtube Video 26. December 2018, 17:06
26. December 2018, 18:58
Dave FlittonThe 105 is actually a modified Pack Howitzer from WWII, the recoil is quite contained
