Upgraded C-130  powered by a pair of TP400 engines. Got the idea after seeing photo of the former Hercules W. 2 fitted out as an engine test bed for the A400

It would mean robbing the Revell 1/144 A400 of two engines but, I figure it could be fitted with four turbofans instead.....!, 😉😂

And it'll look just like a C-17.  ;D  ;)
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Not if you mount the engines over the wing...  :thumbsup:  ;)

And, the problem with that is...........? ;)  ;D  :thumbsup: Do you think I should lengthen the wings? ;) I'd briefly considered actually lengthening the Revell C-17 but, there are some very complex shapes involved so, I opted for discretion being the better part of valour!

Here we go again 🙄
I had a semi built herc given to me by my mate Perrin and I'm almost at this very moment getting the bits together to build a 4 engined jet powered C-130.
I'm going to use 4 modified 72nd A-10 Thunderbolt ll engines ..lengthened and widened.
Already got one Academy A-10 for the task and that ended up giving me another idea 💡 😅
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Oh I'd love it if it was Fred but sadly no..it's 72nd 😆
Me mate Perrin who gave the herc to me is also donating a A-10 he's already built for me to hack up to get the extra engines I'm going to need...there like chickens teeth here right now ..no body has one ..anywhere .
