This model depicts a C-130H (hull number 16) that belongs to Skadron 32, based in Malang City, East Java Province.
This aircraft (tail code A-1316) is stationed at Abdul Rachman Saleh Air Base in Malang City, East Java Province, Indonesia. It is the only short body C-130H that the Indonesian AF has which sports the classic white-and-grey sceme.
I used an assortment of paints to replicate the C-130H's classic white-and-grey scheme. They include Tamiya and Humbrol enamels, as well as Gunze lacquers. I used Model Master Insignia Yellow to replicate the yellow ID bands. To finish it off, I sprayed a generous amount of Testors DullCote.

The front nose wheel. I scratch built the wheel struts but unfortunately none can be seen. The stencils that I made include the red letters near the nose wheel. The red strips however, were airbrushed.

Adding final touches to the model such as the antennas and wires. I strengthen all protruding objects with copper wire.
I made the antenna wires using stretch sprue. I needed two-30cm of stretch sprues which wasn't easy to make. I used Academy sprue since i knew that Tamiya and Academy are pretty good. I colored it using Tamiya Enamel Flat Black.

You can see how the 8mm extension (sorry, not 10mm as previously stated) on the engine cowlings really made a difference to the original kit parts. C-130s have many stencils in the wing and engine are, but I could only use so much.
