I recently purchased a Italeri C-130 E/H moder… I want to convert it into a H version gun platform… A.K.A Spooky. I had looked for a model in this format before without any luck. So any idea’s???
Bump for first-time poster.
Add the guns and extra antenna? Italeri makes an AC-130 kit (#139 in 1/72 and #818 in 1/48), Airfix and ESCI have also released 1/72 AC-130 kits. Perhaps look for one of those?
I flew the H. And I have the E 1/72 kit. in order to make it an H with -15 engines, you have to lengthen the engine housing a bit, but if you dont, nobody will notice. what you really need is the right side cockpit AC cooler that sticks off the side of the fuselage where the NAV sits. and the left side cooling unit that enlarges the gear housing. In reality, nobody will notice the lack of these things compared to a good decal and paint job. I find most people in my Sq quickly glance at planes in a display case, think “coool plane” and then walk off. Nobody except another modeler goes “ooh photo etch parts and resin, good job”
