Aftermarket C-130 Nacelles

PanzerWulff · January 25, 2007, 03:20:44 AM

ok I woke up this morning with a bit of a brainstorm.I flipped through a copy of Finescale modeler while eating breakfast and got the idea of a P-38 lightning powered by a pair of Aillison Turboprops.The P-38 i was looking at had the deep beard radaitor which reminded me of the C-130's nacelles.HMMMMMM now that I think of it maybe the Merlin nacelles off of a Lancaster? Any ideas or suggestions greatly welcomed

Oh yeah almost forgot ARRRRRRR :ar: :ar: :ar:

Flightpath do a ton of Hercules stuff, but the link I have to their website seems to be dead.

On The unofficial Airfix forum, there's a lady modeler who is doing some accurate nacelles and props for the 'J' . She goes by the name desmojen I'm buying a set from her right now and she charge me GBP10 but add shipping to that.

With Engines & Things you get the actually engine not the nacelle.

Cheers, Robert

Is she making these in 1/48th scale or 1/72nd scale? I have a need for at least three sets and the propellers to go with them in 1/48th scale.

I can't say for sure, but I think I read somewhere she is doing both 1/72 (at the moment) and 1/48. The best thing is to ask her. From what I understand she's the resident C-130 expert over on The unofficial Airfix Forum as she works on C-130's for a day job.

Here's a thread on a Herc build which I'm fairly certain is using her products:
