And this time, it even comes with a special embroidered patch of the 401st Squadron! This is an item worth adding to your collection!

Developed by Lockheed, the C-130 Hercules has been a beloved tactical transport aircraft worldwide since its debut in 1956. Known for its high-wing structure, robust fuselage, and four turboprop engines, it excels in rough-field takeoffs and landings, making it an indispensable asset for many countries. Japan's Air Self-Defense Force has been using the Hercules since 1984, where it continues to support operations alongside Japan's domestic C-1 transport aircraft.

Most recently, the C-130H played a vital role in April 2023, when it was swiftly deployed to Sudan to rescue Japanese nationals amid the civil war. This model kit lets you relive that historic moment in palm-sized detail!

The kit is produced by F-Toys, known for their easy-to-assemble parts. The intricate details and realistic design perfectly capture the strength and presence of the C-130H. The modeling of the four engine nacelles is particularly impressive, evoking a sense of motion even when stationary.

Once assembled, the model measures approximately 100mm in length and 130mm in width, making it a perfect fit for display on a desk. Plus, the kit comes with parts for two aircraft, allowing you to recreate both the aircraft deployed to Sudan and one from the 401st Squadron at Komaki Air Base!
