C-130H Hercules wood model airplane is a handmade sculpture, made of mahogany wood. Each is carved, joined and sanded by hand. The deep rich finish that distinguishes these models from all others is created when the artist hand paints all of the details onto each piece. No decals are used.
These fine hand crafted model requires little special care. We recommend you keep the wood model out of direct sun light and away from sources of heat or cold. Dust with a soft cloth, do not use paper products.
The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is a four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft built by Lockheed. Capable of takeoffs and landings from unprepared runways, the C-130 was originally designed as a troop, medical evacuation, and cargo transport aircraft. The versatile airframe has found uses in a variety of other roles, including as a gunship, for airborne assault, search and rescue, scientific research support, weather reconnaissance, aerial refueling, maritime patrol and aerial firefighting.
