1/48 C-130H

 Here are some pictures of my C-130H HERCULES in Hellenic Air Force duty. . . I like building aircraft in 1/48 scale of the H.A.F and this model is for my personal collection. It is the old Italeri kit with pure detail components. The first job I did was to re-scribe all the panel lines. I included many photo etched items from Flightpath΄s detail set and Allison T-56 Turbine from Engines and Things. I scratch-built the radar antenna and avionic bays, all interior cockpit and cargo detail components, Auxiliary Power Unit and a lot of smaller scratch-building details. Rudder and flaps was cut and repositioned. I added 13 small 12V led for interior cargo and cockpit illumination

I painted the model in SEA camo, with Model Master colors: (medium Green, dark Green, dark Tan and light Grey) and finished it with extensive weathering. A lot of decals set was from Deco Products, representing an C-130H in H.A.F service, participate for E.U Force group mission in Libreville, Gabon in 2006. It was a great build and a challenge. All you need for this construction is patience and a lot of free time! For the page Love Scale Models friends . I hope you enjoy my model. Happy modeling!
