NOTES:

'

DRAW Decals has produced a set of markings for the venerable C-130 Hercules, an H model in this instance.  Of course, the decals are for the Testors/Italeri kit.

 The instructions are printed in color, and feature a large full left side view of the aircraft, with several smaller views of the top, underside of both wings, three vertical tail drawings, and one for propeller blade detail.

 The decals are sharply printed.  As these are “Digital Silk” decals, there are a few differences in applying and overcoating these decals, which are explained on the instruction sheet.  All the markings are there for one complete aircraft, but the modeler has some options depending on the exact bird that’s going to be modeled. There are 4 different styles of tailband and two styles of national insignia, along with extra numerals in two sizes to make any aircraft serial number that the squadron flew.  A complete set of upper fuselage/wing walkway striping is included.  FS 36173 AMC Proud Gray is the overall exterior color.
