Interesting subject for sure. Leave it to the Marines to arm a refueler!

That's a cool topic. And the first project I see including the AH add-ons - what's their fit?

The fit is quite good Lukasz, I am not using the Attack Squadron Engines on this one, I had another aftermarket set I have used instead.

Impressive built and impressive workbench too; where do you put all your big models ?

Thanks Erik, they live on top of my display cases and on a large shelf. I do have one display case that is large enough to take and standard length C-130 or P-3 in 1/72

Brother Ray! Looking good! Quick question, what technique did you use to remove the starboard kit sponson? Flex razor saw? K/r, Dutch

Ray, do you have the Warbirds KC-130J Harvest Hawk decal sheet? I have a spare and can send it along, if you need it. K/r, Dutch

Brother Dutch, As I recall razor saw for the vertical cut and then scriber for the forward curves. Then I cleaned up with a file.Thanks for the kind off on the decals, I am happy to take them off your hands 🙂

Wow... that seems really exhausting, but can't wait to see her go into painting and weathering 👍

Coming along very nicely, Ray! Are the walkways decals? Very sharp, I say!

Thanks Dutch, I ended up masking and spraying the walkways. It is almost ready for decals, just need to add a few final parts and finish assembling the PE fins on the Hellfires, they are very fiddly

Ray,
Fiddly! Yes, I know what you mean. I am in the final stages of assembling the TomyTec 1/144 UP-3C and the 40 odd small and extremely fiddly antennas, flap tracks, & Nav lights are about to drive me crazy. Thankfully, they provide extras, as I have lost or ruined a few already. I am spending at least as much time on this last step as in assembling the whole model. In fact I am looking for one of those lighted magnifiers that bolt to the desk top. It will be well worth it. Carry on!
