Amphibious Lockheed MC-130J

[McColm]

Not a new idea in the real or Whiff world, but since it could be used in service with the USAF Special Forces in 17 months time, seems whiffable.
From what I have seen,  the plan is to use a pair of floats attached to the main landing gear in a purpose designed frame on castors for moveablity on hard surfaces.
I have built a 1/72 C-130H with an air cushion landing system and I did toy with using the Japanese PS-1 as a kitbash with a C-130J which could work or using the Mach2 Martin SeaMaster another kitbash with a twist. Yes jet powered C-130J.
Some parts will be scratch built
You could even use the Be-200 in 1/144 scale as a donor kit. For your kitbash.

Thanks for doing this for me.
The donor kit is the Airfix Lockheed C-130H,  engines came from a Frog Avro Shackleton MR.3,  rotodome Grumman E-2C Hawkeye and I'm not too sure about the hull.
