1/48 C130J C5 Hercules Transport Aircraft
The C-130J maintains the recognizable appearance of the Hercules, but the J version underwent a significant redesign, notably with the incorporation of four 4700 HP Rolls-Royce (Allison) AE2100D3 engines and six-blade composite-material propellers that contribute to a quiet operation and efficient fuel consumption. Enhancing its performance capabilities, the C-130J boasts an exceptional rate of climb and extended range, thanks to the powerful new engines. In addition, the avionics have been upgraded, featuring a new digital cockpit and Head-Up Display that continuously provides crucial data to the pilot without requiring them to divert their attention away from the window. As a result, the C-130J has become the standard transport aircraft for many NATO countries.
