T + T GB CC-130 Finished

Post by davidm »

Well i've decided that I would enter this with my 1/72 C-130 kit

Firstly the box

and Sprue's

It will be finished as a CC-130 of the Canadian air force.

I have made a small start. I will post some more pictures as and when.

I'm glad you decided on the Herc as I have this kit in my stash for a project I will be building later, so I will be watching this one with interest.

Have you decided whether you are going to model it with the rear door open and the ramp down?

You're brave balancing her on the stair bannister! :grin:

Good progress, but there are some nasty seams there, especially on the underside :sick: Good luck with the filling job ;)

I've decided the door and ramp closed. I kinda badgered the inside! I'm thinking of getting the 1/48 one to do that with.

Tell me about the seams Sean. i'm not looking forward to much

Looking forward to more pictures - you can't beat a Herky build, not enough of them around :sad:

It looks rather good, will be even better with paint and decals :clap:
