I don't know yet, it will depend of the final weight and time but for sure will have the cockpit pilot, co-pilot, including the ladder, and navigator, I am not sure if this model has the bunks, also lights, working cargo doors and the possible options are: dummy rockets, cargo interior details, droping cargo, RC jeep o truck moving in and out of the cargo area and communications car.

Sorry
No pictures had a lot on my mind at that time. Also in 1973 that C-130 wasn't painted up like the on now. It was plane looking with the name over the entrance door "Fat Albert Airlines" as per the Bill Cosby humor.

I cant wait to see the finished plane, this is gonna be SICK!! We just had the FAT ALBERT crew up here this past week to pick up one of our KC-130T's for them to use to haul thier equipment in for the season. Good luck with the build, I'm a huge fan of the "T" model since thats what I work on, lol.

I asked Joe fro some shots and he sent me this link

http://joemcbride.com/pilot/

I'm sure Paul Reese has pics of the C 130. Those guys are what I call JET NUTZ if it burns kero they are all over it. The best part is they are Pro photo geeks so they share the best shots ever...

WOW, there is some great video on that page. make sure you watch the history channel vid. Yeah good Ole Hunter never did get a chance at the sticks but they played it up pretty good. Another great vid is the rabbit vid watch to the end another great jet Joe owned was a huge F-16 he does some great whisper passes and the back drop is perfect. I off to watch the stealth vids. What an adventure the bird has been.

The C130 is my favorite plane and during my 20 yrs of military service I got to ride in them a lot.
This is going to be a beauty I am sure and look forward to seeing the completed project.

Good Luck with the build!!

I am building this in slow mode due that I have too many projects running, here are the planking for the C-130 and the F-18 landing retracts covers, also I was looking for more details in the web and many more places.
