The Italeri AC-130H Spectre (HC-1310) highlights the Lockheed AC-130 armed tactical support variant of the C-130 Hercules used by the United States Air Force.

Operational Roles

  • Close air support: supporting ground troops, escorting convoys, and flying urban operations.
  • Air interdiction: missions against planned targets and targets of opportunity.
  • Force protection: defending air bases and other strategic facilities.

The AC-130 replaced the AC-47 and AC-119 during the Vietnam War, arriving in South Vietnam on 21 September 1967 and entering combat the same year. Following the conflict, new versions were developed from the C-130H with more powerful engines, four-blade propellers, and upgraded navigation and night-vision systems. The AC-130H “Spectre” subsequently served in multiple U.S. operations over the following decades and, after further upgrades, continued to see action in Afghanistan.
