  It proceeds for his gallery, text and pictures of my C-130E Hercules:

  Lockheed C-130E Hercules - 1/72, MPC

  Historical abbreviation:
  The Hercules is one of the most outstanding airplanes of the history of the military aviation, where it was called of  "the air force in a single airplane" for its excellent qualities. Thrown in several versions, the one that was knowner had been L-382/C-130E. The manufacturer also got to throw a civil version, designated of L-100, being more extended. Were manufactured more than 1.900 airplanes and operated in more than 50 air forces. In FAB - Brazilian Air Force, 16 airplanes were ordered in 1.965, being most in the version E, for us to carry out transport functions, SAR and refueling. The permanence record in the air, it was done by a Hercules of FAB in 95 in mission SAR with a total time of 16:45 hs without interruptions!

  The model:
  This model is very moulded, few pieces and easy to set up. It can be done in the versions E or H, where externally both are same.

  Painting:
  In the end of the eighties, the FAB began to camouflage all its Hercules, in the pattern of its other airplanes as F-5E and AT-26.
  Ventral parts in Light Gray - FS 36622; Dorsal parts in Tan - FS 30219, Green - FS 34258 and Dark Green - FS 34079. Radome, spinners and half of the helixes in Black - FS 27038.
