Item No 14570 Blue Angels C-130 "Fat Albert" Fat Albert, named for the comic character because of its bulky shape, is as important to the Blue Angels as the F/A-18s they perform in. This transport carries the ground crews and support equipment necessary for the exciting aerial demonstrations.

Item No 14581 C-130 USAF Hercules Transport Our new C-130 is arguably the most accurate kit of a C-130 in the market. We have included details normally only found in larger scale and our fit and finish is a fine as it can be right down to the main gear lights! Having been in production longer than any other aircraft, the Herky bird is the backbone of the USAF's tactical airlift force at home and abroad. It is used to carry anything from troops and cargo to medical evacuation operations. Uniquely, it can also be used for LAPES (low-altitude parachute extraction system), which delivers heavy cargo drops from altitudes of 500 feet! It's remarkable take-off and landing capabilities make it a "must have" for virtually every air force of every country. Amazingly, it can land with a 130,000 pound load in 1700 feet and take-off using JATO in a little as 50 feet.
