KC-130F Hercules "Fat Albert" Update 2

[Adrian "Marvel" Reynolds]

With the help from Peter sending me his instructions I have now started this build, I plan to have a go at the Blue Angels Fat Albert paint scheme. The kits a really old basic one and the decals were water damaged so I ordered a new set and hopefully it will be a great eye catching fun build.

Yeah I love this aircraft, never seen one built in this scheme so look forward to that.

Worked on the cockpit, what little detail there is! I watched the interior camera view of Fat Albert taking off and thought how boring the seats are in plain greys, so I've taken some artistic licence and painted them how I think they should look View attachment 88602

Looking good, never realised the seats were the same colours as the aircraft.

Just been having a play with my making and this is the result, pretty straight forward I know but still pleased with it

Nothing straight forward about any scheme that has cheat lines . Nice work Adrian, I was wondering how this was going.

Thanks Joe, I still have to put a thin blue line above the yellow once its fully cured, I had a delay as I ran out of the Blue Angels Blue from Hobby Color, and there are no local shops selling it so I was waiting till Telford to get more

Are those decals? Or you masked the yellow part, Adrian? Looking really good man

The kit had some decals in the box but they were water damaged and were only the usual Marines, Blue Angels etc.

I masked off the areas and sprayed it.

Some more progress, need to tidy the windows up a little they look worse in close up pictures than in the flesh

Coming along nicely Adrian, the camera can be a real bugger sometimes!
