United
States Air Force Art Collection - Desert Phoenix
- By Barbara Carr
- Desert Phoenix: C-130 Hercules Heraldic Nose-art beautifully hand painted by someone in
the U. S. Air Force in Saudi Arabia for operation Desert Storm/January - February 1991.
Definition of Phoenix: Legendary ancient Egyptian bird symbolizing immortality - being
consumed in fire, it rises again, an old spirit in a new and vigorous body. This painting
is from a USAF slide made available to artists participating in this program from the
Society of Illustrators, New York. Nose art is personalized expression and is all by
itself a particular area worthy of being Collector s Items . It occurred to me that there
ought to be a series of U. S. Postage Stamps commemorating the best of Nose art by the
USAF. Note: This is the first time I have worked from a slide taken by someone else in
another land. My only exposure to this war was seeing in on CNN Television. Whoever
thought up this symbol and painted it was a talented and learned person.

C-130J
Hercules, 1/48 Italeri
- By Mike Quan
- Italeri 1/48th C-130J kit, Additional info on Mike's kit. The electrics was the first
task, I ran the motors in parallel sequence as well as the lighting. All wiring ran
into the wing box via a plastic tube and along the roof of the fuselage to the rear where
the battery connection sat under the rudder. The battery is an external pack from a Tamyia
battery pack (4 x 'C' cells) used for a 1/35th tank! I used four small motors (cost about
$2.50AUS each), they are flatten on two sides and rounded on the other two (sorry I have
no idea what the model no. is!) but they fit into the engine nacelle. The props had
to be modified to fit onto the motor shaft (polypropylene rings).
There are lights in the main wheel housing, forward fuselage which run the fibre
optics in the aft, above the ramp, the tail at the base of the rudder, and LEDs in the
main wing (starboard & port) and blinking
LEDs, one on top and below the fuselage. The
fuselage was lengthened by using parts from another 1/48th C-130H (cutting up the
fuselage) particularly the plug forward and aft of the main wing. Interior was lengthened
using plastic struts & sheets. Transparent sheets were blended in and masked to give a
cutaway effect. The model was sprayed in FS36375. The decals were computer generated and
printed on a digital laser printer on to an A4 transparent decal paper. Most of the
finer detail was scratched built using the photos from the Sydney Airport open day, it was
the second C-130J-30 that the RAAF had at the time.

Lockheed C-130H Hercules
- by Mick O'Brien
The Italeri 1/48 scale C130-H Hercules kit was used as the basis for 36 Squadrons
aircraft A97-001 in early 1999. The kit is for an earlier version of the H model so
considerable work was required to bring the model up to Australian specifications.

- An outstanding 1/10th scale
RC flying model kit.
- The Jet Hangar Hobbies C-130 Hercules is the largest kit ever to leave our
doors. Sold as a short-kit and being the only propeller aircraft we offer, this aircraft
incorporates all of the quality you would expect from one of our jet kits. Also, flying
characteristics of the C-130 Hercules will wow you with its stable flight
characteristics and grace and realism in the air. The fuselage comes in three sections
with slip fits and the wings are removable just outboard of the inboard nacelle for ease
of transportation of this big bird. This semi-kit offers the option of a functional cargo
area door and is capable of carrying 10 lbs. of payload. Costs around 2.5K
