This C-130 is CAD drawn, so I guarantee that these parts will fit correctly into their proper slots! I kept the wing span at 65 inches and the fixed landing gear. But, the nose gear is steerable on this plan and the plans do show the older fixed nose gear too just as the original U/C plan had. Off to the right, I included spare formers and ribs to add to your building pleasure.
The scale is still stand off with balsa cowls that you build your self and windows still cut out of good ole flat sheet plastic (or painted on).
But wait, what sets this plan apart from all other plans is that the right wing shows 2 electric motors for power BUT the left wing shows 2 OS .10s for power! Yupper, gas or electric, its your choice.
Also the formers are full and so is the wing. KISS designed and drawn, I still do NOT recommend this plan for inexperienced builders. A 4 engine plane is still a real big challenge to build and power correctly, even for an accomplished scratch builder.
