Description
Up for sale is a brand new 1/400 US MARINES BLUE ANGELS LOCKHEED C-130J 170000 (GJUSM103) by GeminiJets.
The Blue Angels retired their previous support aircraft, a C-130T Hercules, in 2019 after it had flown over 30,000 hours in support of Blue Angels demonstrations. The Angels’ support aircraft have long been C-130s, popularly known for decades as “Fat Albert.” The Navy has a fleet of about 24 C-130T/KC-130T Hercules but Lockheed Martin stopped producing the T model (one of some 70 different Hercules variants) in 1996. Despite refurbishment of its fleet, the Navy couldn’t come up with another T to replace the Angels’ Albert.
As fate would have it, the U.K.’s Royal Air Force announced in 2010 that it would be retiring a portion of its fleet of newer C-130Js by 2020. As the process proceeded, managers at the Navy’s aviation support arm – Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) – took note and formed an idea.
This model aircraft is made from die-cast metal and include extensive detailing. It is similar in quality to Aeroclassics, Phoenix Models, JC Wings, NG Models and Aviation400.
