Heller C-130 Ice Patrol

The Heller kit is a rebox of the Italeri kit so no worries there.
it looks very tasty when completed

Ahhh the Herc!
I love those airplanes.
Got me home from Halifax Nova Scotia after having sailed through the Northwest passage on the back of an Ice Breaker.
Flew top for us on many a Bering Sea flight too!
If only it was rotary wing, it would be perfect.
( I might consider a 1/48 scale kit though)

What scale is that? I might be interested.

I personally think its a fairly good kit for the cost, and with a few modifications and some time you can get great results. I actually bought 4 so far and have done each one from a differnt time period with the USCG. PLease let me know how you make out with yours.
