Very nice result. Congrats!
I think that box not includes decals for this paint scheme. What decals did you use? Thanks!

Hovercraft
The identification marks were in the box. I ordered printing of yellow figures only.

兄弟做的真棒

nice work bro!

Chen Pan
谢谢！过奖啦，没来得及拉线，舰体也没旧化，后面有时间再好好返工一下

Neuling
Beautiful model and presentation!

Chen Pan
Thanks Neuling! For me, this work was even more for remembering the history

Well done!

Tom
Great detail 👍

Chen Pan
Thank you Tom!

做的不錯啊

Chen Pan
謝謝肯定

我買了朝鮮戰爭的那個版本，希望能做的跟你一樣好

Michael Razz
nice one,specialy the interior is a eyecatcher for me.

Chen Pan
Thanks Razz! You see I paint the interior 2 times (the first was not satisfactory) although I can see anything after completion

gorby
Nice work! The figures are particularly well painted for 1/72.

Chen Pan
thanks gorby!

KyMustang
Definitely following this. I have this kit and based on your work on the Bulldog, we're in for a treat.

KyMustang
Nice and tidy cockpits. Great detail work.

Rui S
Looking great 👍

Martin Weinpold
Looking!

KyMustang
Very disappointing about the fit. Did the wing assemblies get switched between fuselages, by any chance? I know it shouldn't matter, but stacking tolerances could do that.

I'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!

Rui S
Nice pair 👍. I'm in 😎

This is an amazing project, taking a seat and popcorn 🙂 The size of the Hercules model is s satisfying to see !

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

★ Starfish ★
Another 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.

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Rui S
Great figure painting Too 👍

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

Ok you caught my attention.

@Skyhiker, klingt gut 🙂

Mr D
Looking great, the cockpit is next level 👌👍

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

Jennifer Franklin
But you'll know it is there 😛

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 😆

Ben M
Interesting build! I just traveled to Qatar.

★ Starfish ★
The 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

Here we go... 😎

Bozzer
I'll hop in with Rui. These builds are always an education 🙂

MS K
Thanks guys.
This time, I plan to make light modifications to a few areas and finish it quickly. Don't expect too much. 😉

Bozzer
Lol, yeah, we've seen your subtle modifications. I'm definitely sticking around for the Finale 👍

Martin Oostrom
What you call a few modifications, is usually a full rebuild to me.

Alexander Grivonev
Nope, not expecting much from you MS K....just the usual boring OOB stuff 😄

Spanjaard
fully agree with Bozzer, Martin and Alexander 😄 😄

Ravlich01
Thank you, Rui

Mike Thomas
Wow! Great looker! Fantastic paint work! I did mine in the box art colors...kinda pain Jane but still, gotta love those Tamiya bike kits!

Ravlich01
Hi Mike.
You are very kind. Thank you.
The box art is very nice. Did you do the purple or black and gold? Both are striking. Yes the Tamiya bikes ate well made and a lot of fun with sub assemblies making the final stages hard to slow down and resist impatience lol

Mike Thomas
The black and gold. Even though masks were included, making sure the stripe decals lined up with the color change was a bit daunting but it all worked out. Tamiya 1/12 YAMAHA XV1600 ROADSTAR | Album by Mike62

I am still not sure how I will tackle the green camo squiggly lines of green, paint method wise...

Looking forward to the complete build. Hope your little helper doesn't get any stray fur under your decals which FYI: is not a good time 😄

Respect. My hats off 👍

Tony Tonov
Beautiful model 👍

Skyhiker
This is a test...this is only a test. If this were a real emergency my AMS would take over. I want to see if I can do an out of the box build. So far I have almost never been able to. Wish me luck.

Skyhiker
I think this is my first time with an ICM mold. The kit has a lot of flash and is very subtle in its markings. This creates a bit of a challenge cleaning things up because I have to stop and figure out what to take away and what to keep. But I think when everything is cleaned up it should be pretty straightforward.

Thomas O'Eh
following!

Michael Kohl
Me too. I have my ICM to finish too.

Skyhiker
I think I am becoming an ICM fan. The mold is not the easiest but the subtle details and perfect scaling are great.

Robert Podkoński
I will keep my fingers crossed 😉

Cuajete
Following.

Alec K
Same. Fingers crossed for the OOB goal to last 👍

Skyhiker
There was one piece that was too big to fit. The instructions said that it was the backing for the control panel for the navigator. I started filing it down but then realized that Revell screwed up the instructions and it was actually the pilot's headboard. Now I have to repair the headboard.

Chris T. An
I'm in. Good luck with that kit. 😉

Nicolas
Watching with interest.

Skyhiker
Well I blamed Revell for getting the instructions wrong but when I checked the ICM instructions they had the same mistake. The piece clearly belongs behind the pilot if you look at the kit. So either the engineers who designed the kit got it wrong or the graphics department got something wrong. Either way I went with the kit and not the instructions.

Skyhiker
Today I was going to paint most of the day but my airbrushes were not cooperating so I ended up brushing the interior.

Skyhiker
I finished the cockpit and started with the wings today

Alec K
Nice progress 👍

Skyhiker
The more I work with this model the more I am truly amazed at how finely detailed ICM was able to make the mold. It's incredible. I hope I can keep any of those details without the paint just filling it all in.

Skyhiker
More progress made

Cuajete
Well done so far 👍

Neil Patrick
I'm definitely in for this.

Skyhiker
Welcome everyone. It's starting to come together. Soon it may even look like a plane.

Skyhiker
A bit more progress made today. Now I have to wait for everything to dry before attempting to put on the landing gear.

Skyhiker
Landing gear is on.

Skyhiker
A set of masks would have saved me a lot of time, but after shipping they would have cost more than the kit.

Bozo
Ouch, seen the very first picture.
few flashes but lovely plane with this inline engine version.

Skyhiker
Yeah, there was a lot of flash on the kit. It took me a day to get all the parts cleaned up but in the end the kit is actually not too bad.

Skyhiker
I primed the model today. Tomorrow I will start painting.

Moreno Baruffini
Really a great progress! Bravo!

Cuajete
I agree with Moreno 👍

Skyhiker
I got the bottom painted but I think I am going to give it a day to cure before masking it.

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Skyhiker
This build is making me question why I predominantly use an airbrush instead of a paintbrush.

Moreno Baruffini
I agree with you, I use use mainly the brush when modelling

Mr D
Hi Skyhiker 👋
Always pays to give paint good drying time before more work, l like 48hrs on main airframe, probably why l tend to have couple of builds on the go ..... something to do between drying periods.
Looking good , l always hand paint my wheels, lve done 67 in 2yrs 🫣
Good luck on next steps 👍

Skyhiker
I got the base layer of RLM71 down. I'm not happy with the windows but I couldn't sand them down flat without damaging a lot of details. I'll have to see how it looks when the paint is dry.

Mr D
Coming along nicely 👍
An interesting wing shape.. interesting aircraft generally, nice 🙂👍

Skyhiker
The wing shape reminds me of a flying fish.

Michael Kohl
The wing shape actually gave inspiration for the Spitfire. Rolls Royce - if I recall that right - acquired a He-70 for test purposes. Here the designer of the Spitfire saw the plane.

Skyhiker
That's an interesting bit of history Michael. I didn't know that but I did notice the similarities. As a matter of fact I was just comparing the two a few days ago.

Skyhiker
Well, somehow the landing gear broke on me, so I had to scratch build a new part. Seems to be working now.

Skyhiker
Camo down

Cuajete
Good progress 👍

Mr D
Good job on the camo, every plane probably has variations in camo so box art is good, it does work well as a camouflage that pattern, breaks up the profile well.
Nice build 👍

Jennifer Franklin
The camo looks great.

Skyhiker
I managed to get the flu so I'm not getting much done right now.

Nicolas
Gute Besserung.

Skyhiker
Danke Nicolas

Thomas Kolb
Get better soon!

Get well, Skyhiker!

Get well soon!

I hope this means you are feeling better

Skyhiker
Thanks for asking Jennifer. I'm slowly getting back on my feet. My fever is gone now, but I'm still pretty tired. I'm taking it one day at a time.

Mr D
Very nice 👍👍

Cuajete
Cheer up, Skyhiker!
Good restoration camo 👍

Mr D
Looking really good....l like the wings on this one and the wing ribbing comes through nicely. ... Doing nice Jon👍👍

Mr D
A nice kit 👍 Like the YaK-1 and 3
Great wing shape 👍

Alan G
That is a lovely dio. Well done

Guy Rump
Very nice dio and builds, congrats. 👍

Mathias Decommere
That's an interesting build, but I thought Poland was invaded in september 1939...

Jac Fleming
Sorry I made an error, It was in May1942, I'm busy with another build that's during the invasion of Poland. 😄

Mathias Decommere
I see, me too! First Casualties | Project by Templar1099 (1:35)

What will be your theme?

I'm building a few vehicles at the moment, I have a few options to place them, one of them is a bridge, but with me it can always change 🙂

Nice Dio 👍

Mr James
Wonderful detailed scene with plenty going on. Very well done.

I love the camo

Running out of display space in my mind is an excuse to go get a new cabinet. Then try to convince her that it been there all along. (Note: that doesn't seem to work)

Paintjob is just awesome. Chapeau bas!

Taking a seat. Very curious how the extra details will work - I have the base kit, but haven't decided whether to expand it with such nice details yet. Good luck!

Spanjaard
really curious about what you do with it. joining the club.

Alexander Grivonev
You know guys who is the most curious on what and how I am gonna do? Me 😄 My philosophy is "just start, ask questions later". It is the most enjoyable approach, you encounter problems on the go, you find solutions, try new techniques and create new ideas. Which is very rewarding. And in the end you have a nice result. Not a perfect one, but one you can look back on and smile or shake your head...
