★ Starfish ★ AuthorI've been working on this project for months but never found the time to share it—until now. This is the largest aircraft I've built so far. When someone from Qatar asked me to take on this project, I was immediately on board. I knew the Hercules' sheer size compared to my other kits would make this a challenging and exciting project!

★ Starfish ★ AuthorThanks Cristian! For me this is almost too large so I'm looking forward to build something "normal" soon 😅

★ Starfish ★ AuthorAnother update on the Herc. The cockpit isn't very detailed, so I spent more time painting the crew. Beforehand, I tested which of my paints best matched the uniforms of the Qatari Air Force.

Cristian ACockpit interior and Qatari pilots look awesome, keep going. Cannot wait to see this big boy wearing its Qatari Air Force roundel.

NicolasAm I the only one who is reminded of the Terminator by the co-pilot figure? I'm not sure why.
Nice start with the cockpit. 👍

★ Starfish ★ AuthorThanks Mr D. I wasted too much time on the cockpit, considering that you can't see anything once the model is finished 🤦♂️

Mr D@ starfish.
I know the situation 🤣 modern fighter jets are good for cockpit displays, Desert Marlin has built some great examples.
I quite enjoy the cockpit work and always have the Snaps 📸 , l have to confess..l sometimes takes to the cabinet with my 🔎 have a look through the cockpit window 😆

★ Starfish ★ AuthorThe Zvezda C-130J-30 Hercules in Qatar Emiri Air Force markings is finally done! Although I had some issues with decal silvering, the kit was a pleasure to build. As always, you can check out the full build video on my YouTube channel: Youtube Video

CaptGPFOh wow! You outdid yourself on that one! Your build was so inspiring that even I wanted to build one! My apologies for being greedy - but can you post a few more photos of the finished product?! Just make sure you put Starfish on it so Zvesda can't rip it off and use it in their marketing materials without compensating you!

★ Starfish ★ AuthorHaha thank you CaptGPF! I will post more photos tomorrow, in the meantime you could check out the slideshow in my video linked above 😉

Thomas KolbWow, this is a beautiful model! You really managed to break up the monochrome color with your preshading, super impressing work! Your Eagles are also fantastic, you are obviously very skilled with the airbrush. Thanks for the inspiration mate.
