Looking at buying Italire 1/72 AC130H specter, it has tons of aftermarket, however there are no instructions. I’m just an amateur modeler, and it may be to much for me. Anyway if I do decide to try I would need your help with build instructions. LeRoy Larson

Only the A model had 3 blade props.  I have the E, H, and J kits, and the AC-130A.  I had no instructions for the last, but found scans here:

Keyda, I also have the Italeri AC-130H 1:72 kit, but would like to retro build it as an E model. Any suggestions as to armament, pods, etc. I thought I read the props on the E's were 3-bladed. Can you advise?

If Drifter can't find anything, let me know.  I don't have the instructions for that exact kit, but I do for Italeri's 1/48 C-130J, 1/72 C-130E/H, 1/72 AC-130H Spectre, and 1/72 MC-130E Combat Talon.  I'm kind of a C-130 nut.Embarrassed  So I'm also a bit jealous that you got that kit!  Lol.

I recently got a deal on a used Italeri AC-130U Gunship kit.  All the parts are there but no instructions.  If anyone has this kit and/or the instructions, I would appreciate a copy.

Thank you.
