GEMINI JETS 1/200 RAAF LOCKHEED C-130J Hercules A97-442 (G2RAA993)

Description

Up for sale is a brand new 1:200 scale Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) LOCKHEED C-130J Super Hercules by Gemini Jets from 37 Squadron, RAAF Base Richmond.

C-130J Super Hercules A97-442 was delivered to 37 Squadron of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) on 20 October 2001 with the “High Maintenance” nose art. Interestingly, this aircraft was the first to get airborne in the United States where it was registered N130JR. On September 14th 2001, it began ferrying Centre for Disease Control personnel and supplies from Dobbins AFB to La Guardia Airport, New York. A97-442 was also active in another terrorist attack, this time providing support to Indonesia in the wake of the 2002 Bali bombings.

Today, it still operates from RAAF Base Richmond for 37 Squadron and sports the special ‘Centenary of RAAF’ markings on the tail.

This model aircraft is made from die-cast metal and includes extensive detailing. It is similar in quality to Inflight200, JC Wings, NG Models and Aviation200.

Display stand included.
