Thirty some-odd years ago my father was presented with a very nicely done plaque with a model of a DC-130A that he had flown in during his Air Force career. Over several years and moves, the model is now showing its age and has taken some damage. This is an attempt to not only restore it, but correct some of the historical inaccuracies that had been inherent in this kit. The man who originally built this kit was the man who introduced me to this hobby; I hope I can do it justice.
