A place for our military aviation modellers to show their stuff. It may not be civil but it still has a home here

Italeri KC-130J- 1/72

I have been tinkering with this one for some time on and off. It is getting close to the finish line.

I have used Attack Squadron Harvest Hawk conversion, Hamilton Hobbies sponson extensions and ESC duct and Jen's Bit J model Engines and finally some replacement exhausts Pete Mahoney knocked up some time ago. Since then OzMods have released some sets. Also a lot of scratch building of antennas, etc

So up to this weekend's work, I almost forgot that the 2 exhausts on right wing had not been fitted, so I tended to those. These are those mentioned above to replace the inaccurate Italeri versions.

Then the painting and masking was started, I masked and painted the walkways as an applicable set is not available yet. After some touch ups I need to mask off and paint the metallic parts, and black exhaust areas. The external tanks are also in the paint shop and I need to start masking up the camo pattern on those.
