    Zvezda C-130H Hercules

    This was a really enjoyable build. Well moulded parts that fitted together very well indeed. Plenty of options for different versions, and 5 different colour & decal schemes included.

    Thanks to everyone that followed the build, and once again thank you for all the encouraging comments and reactions.

    EDIT: I've just realised I haven't removed the masking from the side windows yet! :rolling:

    Andy.

    A top, top effort. You should be VERY proud of it.

    Hard to believe you've only been doing this hobby for a couple of years (if I remember correctly).

    Looking forward to seeing what your turn out next!

      Andy,

      Excellent work, very nice finish on the paintwork.

      Now all you need is a "load" in the back end!!!!
      "Chopped-up" Chinook maybe???? :tongue-out3: :smiling::smiling::sick:

      Paul.

                  Thanks Andrew, I'm really happy with how it turned out.

                  I made my first model in April 2019 so I'm approaching 2 years. Still so much to learn!

                  Thanks Paul.

                  It does look a bit empty in the back. Maybe I should get more figure practice on a few dozen paratroopers :smiling5:

                  Thanks Steven. I'm learning more with each model but definitely getting closer to the kind of look I've been trying for.

                  Thanks Paul. The great fit helped as I didn't have to mess around with it too much.

                  Thanks Ron. It has to be one of my favourites so far.

                    Very nice Andy. I haven't built one of these in absolute years. I also haven't read Viz, in absolute years.

                      Andy,
                      That is a top finish mate, one to stick in pride of place.

                          Looking very good, clean and ready to go!

                          All it needs is some figures with spray guns next to it, and you won’t even need to remove those window masks

                              Thank you Colin, Paul, Pete, Jakko & Tim.

                              It's currently stuck in the shed as I've run out of room in the house, especially with the Xmas decorations! Will hopefully have a move round soon as I definitely want to show this one off :smiling3:
