| C130 Hercules Transporter
A few more shots of this monster and that's realy all I can say about it, it's been one great plane for me to build and as I said in my other thread being a truck & car builder it's been a joy to build even though it looks a bit messy and is not quite right in places I do plan to do it again but next time with wheels down but still hanging from the ceiling. Please enjoy what I've done so far. |

| | All Round Modeller | Certainly a nice large model there Russ,
Keep the pics coming, would like to see the finished model.
And seeing as this plane is a popular subject at the moment, how about this one I saw at the Model Engineer Exhibition a few years ago, purely scratch built from balsa and featured full working lighting. Just a bit bigger than Russ's model, as you can tell by the people in the pic next to it !!
Regards.......Mark.

| | Scale Model Member | Nice build! All these card models have finall ypushed me to the edge.
I have to know: is there a card-model kit of a Harrier out there? He (or she) who finds one will get the ultimate reward... a "Thanks." And perhaps a long distance hug.
By the way, what is this "casino cash?" Its under everyone's avatar. Am I to be led to believe there is a casino where I can use this cash? Or that perhaps I may be able to get this cash without some strange exchange rate? Maybe whoever finds me a nice Harrier card model can have my casino cash.. just think of all the virtual women (or men) you could woo...

| That's quite a size for a card model! Great looking model though but needs a lot of space.

| Wow that C130 is huge, I've seen bigger though here in my home state in Oz there is a guy who has a 1/4 scale Herc running 2 stroke mower motors for the lift power to get it of the ground. THe plane is almost finished wings are done, I'm now working on the drop tanks and engines & props | |
