Italeri 1/72 C-130
Built this one this year. I built it for a co-workers father who was a crewman on C-130's in Vietnam. Not my best work but not the best kit either. I rescribed the entire kit as well. Decals didn't want to behave no matter what I did.

oooh, that bird is a biggun!
Every take-off has a landing...some are just better than others
Re: Italeri 1/72 C-130
Rescribing such a huge kit must be a chore! But I must say I like the result.

like the C-130 in every version, lot of work to rescripe all lines and you did it excellent, I like the SEA Herc
Re: Italeri 1/72 C-130
Wow. Nice camo, nice weathering, nice scribing. Beautiful work. I have one or two of those somewhere.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: Italeri 1/72 C-130
I could really appreciate your work. Outstanding to have done this monster from Italeri. Did mine a few years ago and i know how tough it is to build one.
Kudos and great work! Iam very sure your co-worker and dad must be happy to see it!

Im going to reevaluate my skills as a modeler.
You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
