No, sorry. 1/144 scale Herk fever. Ray likes to build 1/72 scale Herks. It's a rainy Saturday, so I am taking some time to make a little progress.

Back in the mid-1980s I built a Boeing 720B in Ethiopian Airlines markings using the ATP Airlinrrs America decals. Look through my completed album. I just like the markings.

I have a little more puttying and sanding to do on some of the shapes & seams, but I am strategizing for the paint phase. The C-130H was a monchrome scheme, so I waited until 95% assembled before painting. This one requires lt grey, white and silver. I think I will paint the wings and horizontal stabs separate from the fuselage. So my order of work will be: 1. Paint everything lt grey; let dry. 2. Mask lower fuselage and paint upper fuselage white; let dry; remove mask. 3. Paint forward radome and sponson tips black; let dry & mask. 4. Mask walkways on wings and stabs and paint silver; set aside to dry. 5. Mask upper fuselage (white) and bottom of fuselage (lt grey); paint silver; let dry; remove masks. 6. Hand paint wheels & props; let dry. 7. Final assembly. 8. Decals.
