Finally finished this C-130! I think it looks great! Dont think it could look any better! I tryed to make it look as close as possible to what it looked like in the vintage maval comic line!
I found this plane at a garage sale for $2 that was all black and dirty and had a bunch of weird stickers that I cleaned up good and gave it a sweet lookin paint job! I got to thank my girlfirend for being such a sweet person and painting the small details and decals on form me! (: I have no artistic ability at all! ImageShack(TM) slideshow Thats a slider of Six picture I toke of the C-130 from every angle! Enjoy and tell me what you guys think! Thanks

Nice job! I loved that issue too. However, I could not stand that Ace and Wild Bill were the pilots. I would have preferred generic military pilots to them. I have always disliked seeing A fighter pilot flying anything other than a Fighter Jet. OR a helo pilot flying a plane. I really could not stand Shipwreck captaining the mobile ship that became the Joes base during the first part of the IDW run either.

The same scale as your A-10 Warthog in the pic. It is even the same brand, "True Heroes". Even though many would say 1:18, it is actually more on par with 1:40 scale in terms of length.
A real in scale 1:18 plane of this scale would be just about 5.5 feat long. This one is just a little over 2 feat long.

It is unfortunate that this is a little bit smaller the the normal scale but this is about 1/40 maybe the plain is a little bigger then that!i wish there was more of a cockpit too! maybe some day i will manage to get a better cockpit for a fit of 3 3/4 Joes! but that wouldn't be anytime soon! haha

I dont know really what the Ture Heroes are really and the size is just a little smaller then what it is for 3 3/4 figures to fit in, but it is just a little longer then 2 feet long and has a wing span of 2 feet so its still really big! I doubt it was made for little plasitc army men, but again I am not quite certain!
