Italeri Raf Hercules C130J C5

The Italeri RAF Hercules C-130J C5 (part number HC-2746) celebrates the latest generation of this renowned transport aircraft. Supplied with a super decals sheet for four versions, it offers attractive marking options that reflect the aircraft’s service with modern air arms.

While it retains the familiar Hercules silhouette, the real C-130J was extensively re-designed. Four 4,700 hp Rolls‑Royce (Allison) AE2100D3 engines drive six‑blade composite propellers, delivering quieter running, lower fuel consumption, excellent climb performance and extended range. The cockpit features modern digital instrumentation and a Head‑Up Display that keeps critical data in the pilot’s eyeline. The C-130J has steadily become a standard transport within NATO countries, including Italy.
