This AC-130 built by John Vojtech, won the US nationals 2005 best Aircraft Award....which was sponsored by ARC.  John is working on a big article of his AC-130 for publication on ARC at a later date.  The model took 4700 hours to build....although many of these hours were due to a lamp that accidentally dropped on the model and melted away the front half of the fuselage, John overcame that disaster to repair the damage and finish his model.  Quite the amazing story.
