This C-130 is another F-Toys plastic kit which came out of the box pre-coloured as a US display team aircraft. A modest amount of paintwork later, however, and with the aid of some markings from Dom's Decals, it now belongs to the Pakistani Air Force.

ReplyDeleteThat's the one Don! There were two in the set I bought, so I judged that one would be enough. Besides, I have a couple of AN-26s lined up for my Indians and wanted to balance things out.
