"C-130E"

jkowalchuk71

Building this model brought back many found memories of my 1500 flight hours as a pilot in the Green and Brown Whisperjet. Three notes of caution/concern: 1. The stub propeller mounts are too flimsy and easy to break. Suggest putting a dab of epoxy on each blade mount to the hub before assembling. 2. Very important to pre-fit the parts you will use depending on whether your model will have a wheels up or down configuration. Getting the ramp and door to fit in closed configuration takes some sanding and test fitting. 3. The plastic windscreen insert is tough to fit and the assembly diagram doesn't really tell you whether to insert it on the exterior surface or to slide it under the surrond.

"Love this kit"

keyda81

First model kit I purchased, instilled the modeling bug in me. Easy to follow instructions. Have purchased several more kits from Italeri.

"A well detailed kit!"

salimbeneg

C-130 Hercules a fine build. No problems, just requires patience and a steady hand with the air brush.

"Excellent Kit"

jeremy.s.michels1

This is a good kit from Italeri. There was very little flash on the parts and the pieces all fit together nicely. The decals consist of three different liveries. The instructions were easy to follow, and allow for open/closed doors and wheel wells.

Information

The C-130 Hercules is one of the most widely used tactical transport aircraft of the last forty years. The basic design dates back to the 1950s but the type continues in frontline service. The great and popular features of the C-130 is its operation from unimproved landing strips, its short takeoff and landing characteristics, and the fact that it can carry a wide variety of cargo - from troops to Hummers.
