Lockheed Hercules C.1P Italeri 1983 tool, 2010 box

An aircraft I have flown in lots of times during my Army career. 🙂

Guy, "Hercules" is cool! I, of the transport planes, have only flown on the An-2, which is also an interesting experience 🙂

Following 👍

Joining, also have some miles in that plane. The heating system is quite interesting in the back, either terribly cold or flaming hot…😅
Looking forward to see the build!👍🏻

Finn
I'm in

Finally made a start on the C-130. Internal painted Hataka Medium Sea Gray B341. Weight added to the nose. 🙂

Welcome along Duster_d. Neil, J35J and Finn. 👍

@J35J, I agree with you re the heating system! The canvas seats in the back are pretty uncomfortable as well, especially with a full passenger load!. 👍

Cockpit area started and painted Hataka Medium Sea Grey BS 341 plus a few other accessories painted as well. Rear undercarriage painted medium sea grey and insignia white. More to be done on the cockpit and the other parts to be added. The rear undercarriage parts need to be painted too on the internal side too. 🙂

The most noticeable error of this kit is that the engine nacelles are 7 mm too short . There is (was) a Brengun set with corrected nacelles and I made a 3d printed correction set : stropdecal.wordpress..heed-hercules-set-2/ But it is only available in Belgium.

Internal floor painted Hataka Dark Sea Gray. Cargo doors painted Hataka Medium Sea Gray BS341. 🙂

Many thanks for the information Erik, I appreciate it. 👍

Many thanks mate for your interest and like walaroo. 👍

Cockpit part finished off with addition of control panel, table and crew seats. 🙂

Internal flooring attached to cockpit area. I had to use superglue as it wouldn't stick properly with normal adhesive. 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Lukasz G. 👍

Guy Rump Author
Transparencies added and masked on this side of the aircraft. Cockpit and flooring added. Had to use a bit of superglue to get the floor to stay down. 🙂

Guy Rump Author
Transparencies added for opposite fuselage. Ready for next stage which is to glue the two halves of the fuselage together. 🙂

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Major Oak, Gustavo S & 1 other mate. 👍

Finally, after gluing with both plastic adhesive and super glue and then quite a bit of filler, the fuselage is together. Next will be putting together the wings and tail plane. 🙂

Many thanks mate for your interest and like Robert P. 👍

Guy Rump Author
Wings and tail plane wings have now been glued together. The engines have been loosely glued on so that I can paint and then add the propellers later. 🙂

Many thanks mates for your interest and likes Robert P, Andre K & Олег. 👍

Taking a seat for the show!

Wings and tail plane attached. The wings needed filler as the fit wasn't great. Cockpit transparency fitted too. Next will be primer. 🙂

Welcome CaptGPF, hopefully I'll get this one finished in the next month or so...👍
