C-130J Hercules (1/72 or 1/48) - MM-72032 / MM-48032 |
In late December 2006, the Royal Australian
Air Force started re-painting their C-130J fleet in a new “dark
grey” scheme.
This is an interesting choice as most RAAF transport aircraft
have moved toward being repainted to a single shade of green
or grey in recent years. The scheme consists of a very dark
grey upper surface, a medium grey underside, with all makings
are in charcoal black. The instructions give two sets of
FS numbers for this scheme, as the finished airframe appears
much lighter then the official FS colours quoted. The addition
of the squadron crest on the tail is new to the “J” models.
Decals include all stencilling, squadron, and national
markings, and are designed for the Italeri edition of the C-130J.
