ITALERI 1/48 Scale Lockheed Martin C-130J C5 Hercules Model Kit

Italeri 1/48 Scale Lockheed Martin C-130J C5 Hercules Plastic Aircraft Kit While it maintains the familiar lines of the Hercules, a common sight in the world’s skies for decades now, the C-130J has been extensively re-designed. The most visible change lies in the use of four 4700 HP Rolls-Royce (Allison) AE2100D3 engines, with six-blade composite-material propellers that ensure silent running and low fuel consumption. High performance features include an excellent rate of climb and an extended range of action thanks to the new engines. An equally important development is the avionics: the cockpit, in fact, is equipped with new digital instruments and a Head-Up Display that provides the pilot with a constant stream of data without him having to look away from the cockpit window. The C-130J is steadily becoming the standard transport aircraft in many NATO countries, Italy included. This 1:48 Scale plastic kit contains decals for four versions, including USAF, RAF and Italian Air Force. This kit will need glue and paints to complete. Not included. Available separately.   Due to the weight of this plastic model aircraft kit, it will have to go via courier and therefore attracts maximum postage rates.
