That is art! I have to take a first row seat here and see the progress. Very impressive 👍

Surely another build that will leave me speechless and striving to come closer to this level.

Omg thanks everyone. You guys are the best! I'm interested to see how this one comes out. I'll add more progress soon. 🤞

I like old planes from the early days of aviation. Your scrathbuild is fantastic. I admire how you can render all the little details in this scale. I wish you continued success in building this model and look forward to the sequel.

Your talents are beyond my comprehension.... Totally amazing scratch building 🙂 This little gem is already gorgeous🙂

Hi Michael, I'm not sure. It should be out by then but I don't know if any sellers will be stocking it. I live in Australia unfortunately, so Telford is well outside my maximum range 😢

Added the large control wheel to the pilot's cockpit from soldered wire and heat curved sprue. I like the little brass hub in the middle 🙂

You seem to have really good control over your soldering. What tools do you have? That control wheel is impressive.

@Skyhiker I have an inexpensive soldering iron from an electronics store. It is nothing special, but the best thing I have is liquid soldering flux. Using that allows the solder to grab the surface and stick without requiring too much heat or flooding the area with solder.
@gorby Being a jeweller helped at first. But now I am finding that the modelmaking is helping me be a better jeweller! 👍

Wow, thank you Alec! Hopefully it will be in your mailbox soon 🙏
I added a few more pics. Test fitting the undercarriage and one of the prototype wheels.

Me too.
But obviously he doesn't show how he did the wheels to prevent us from fainting. 😉

Wow, what scale👌, l struggle to build a 1:72 without breaking of a tail wheel or antenna 🤣.
Really nice n interesting subject 👍👍

@Michael Kohl, I made an album about the wheel back in January, showing the stages of construction. Spoked wheel test, 1/144 | Album by F_IV
@Skyhiker, Windsock Datafiles provide the best drawings. I also use the 3-view drawings from the Wingnut Wings kit for some areas.

A masterpiece is being created here!!! Scratchbuild at this scale and this quality! Unbelievable! Bravo! 👏👏👏

Great progress 👍
I have a kit in 1:48, but your build looks much better and has more details!

Thank you, it's slowly coming along. Adding more details now that the main components are painted. It's always my favourite part of a build. 🙂

Hello all. I am looking for a Hercules 1/144 model kit. The only one I have found so far is the Academy kit (1/144 C-130J-30 Super Hercules, 1999-present 1263). I have no experience of Academy kits and there seem to be no reviews on here. It's a relatively cheap kit so I am wondering it is really old and basic. Judging by the instructions I have downloaded, it seems fairly basic.
Does anyone have experience of this kit or Academy kits in general? TIA.

No idea. I am guessing any Academy Hercules kits, are re-branded kits from older molds, from Minicraft. I think Hasegawa has some 1:200 kits, but different scale, and might be mostly Japanese stuff.

Oh, a kit from my favorite area of interest. I'm in. Great start with the instrument panel.

Like the plane and the livery you are going for.
My two cents on one or two aspects: I found the brass undercarrige and the cockpit section you listed as aftermarket pretty useless. The undercarriage doesn´t solve the problem to ease the alignment of the landing gear and the cockpit section doesn´t provide any better detail than the kit parts. I set both aside and rescribed the soft outlines of the cockpit doors. Pouring transparent resin into the cabin windows gave a nice flush appearance. You may consider that.
Good luck with your build. I will follow with keen interest.

Thanks Michael and Nicolas. As my second kit to build, I thought I spice it up a bit with some aftermarket stuff, indeed, the new cabin with the new windows gave me some head scratching as to how install it, then figured it eventually out. My alignment looks a bit messy and I hope u can make it look aligned with putty etc… so far my opinion as an inexperienced builder is that you could safely leave it stock, as is….
I did not come yet to the brass parts and hope it will be better with these parts. Let's see 🙂

I am happy to take a seat! I personally find red liveries extremely difficult to pull off, so I am watching with great interest!

Following this challenge.
The Aerocraft cockpit will require a lot of sanding, but the original windshield is definitely too narrow - been there, done that 🙂

Taking a seat. And fingers crossed that the strength and motivation will last until successful completion!

Take two. Primer again. An attempt to repaint it in a lighter blue color failed. The "Zvezda-ACR" paint is crap.
