Thanks, good luck on the camo scheme Ray! It's not as bad as I made it out to be, just "tedious". LOL. I masked the windows for gloss cote, the gloss sometimes gives the clear parts a "rippled " look, I don't always have "good luck", better to be cautious at this stage of the game! LOL

If I ever do attempt another camo Hercules I would do the C-130A "Roman Nose" model. I like the nose on the early Herks.

The build is complete minus decals and antenna wires. I gloss coted, removed the masks, put the antenna on the forward top fuselage and glued the ramp on. Next post should be in the finished section.

Thanks, everything is done except the tail code, a white FB for the base, Forbes AFB, just above white numbers 522. I am hoping the white numbers-letters come in from Ukraine soon. May have to dodge a few "ballistic missiles" on the way here.
