Here is the Roden 1/144 C-141B, my Minicraft C-130J-30 needs a companion. I started on it yesterday and it is a pretty simple build. During the Viet Nam war the A and B versions of these flew over my house several times daily on the way to Travis AFB. Often with sad cargo.
The box art.
Not many parts to this one. Simple paint scheme, too.
Major assemblies are together.
Fit is excellent, the only rework needed was on the platform that the nose gear attaches too, I had to file the sides to a taper and carve a bit from each fuselage side to get a fit I liked.
And what was I thinking, why did I glue in the nose strut already?
First photo shows the changes made to get a good fit.
