Well it ain't Civil but it is a C130

[ascot]

Probably won't interest you lot but Gemini Jets have just released a C130. The first one is a USCG C130H followed by a Blue Angels.

A good pic on www.geminijets.com click on new releases then Coast Guard C130. :cool:

[Typhoon-MKV]

Actually thanks for the link - I feel another Web Site update coming on....

[plumstix]

According to the Geminijets site there are 2 more C-17s due this month too.

[ascot]

Got the first 2 but more of that on a different thread!!
I worked a C17 into EGLF last week and for a big aircraft it did a very tight cct then reversed off the R/W......Brilliant to watch

The C130J is good at reversing...maybe thats why the Italian AF is interested :D

Good pic.. Coastguard great for camera work if you want a 130 in the distance and have the Corgi one in the foreground but why why why the same colourschemes.. available in all scales..!!

Probably because they lack imagination on the board, or are too scared to go it alone.

[Agent X20]

Shame really a bit of variety would be nice....

[ascot]

Too right, be nice to get a MC130 and some bog standard USAF colour schemes :confused:

[Agent X20]

Naw be a 1/400 Drone controller..!!

Agent X20

[ascot]

Sadly you are probably right....... :mad:

[Agent X20]

with 4 incy wincy drones...

Agent X20

Lets see some civil hercs.. please..

[ascot]

If anyone is going to do a civvie Herc the bets must be on Gemini Jets

[BSteinIPMS]

...because there are many civilian C-130 color schemes available, just look into Airliners.net for Delta Airlines, Saturn Airways, & etc. Some of the stretched versions are quite attractive. :)

Cos Albert only does Corgi's subjects and not Gemini Jets. Corgi only markets Gemini's products and nothing more, so you are bound to get a clash of liveries by a process of elimination of the most popular schemes. Personally, I would like to see the old USCG scheme on a Herk model.

Watch this space Bob! Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Echo, Foxtrot....which one is missing???

[I love planes]

Err, Umm.....Delta? What prize do I win Bob?? :D
You Brits might not get that. Do you get the Price is Right there? Bob Barker.....

Well, let's see now........a Delta? Here's a nice shot of a USAF C-130D which is rather colorful. An Air Force ski bird would make a nice counterpoint to the Corgi USN LC-130:

But your drone controller C-130 is going to be a tough act to follow in regards to colorfulness. She's a beauty, eh? Well done!

Here's Jetstreams Inflight series 1/200 civil Herc in Delta markings:

Good photo opportunity with the vortices creasted from the engines, like mini twisters.
