Italeri 1/72 AC-130H Spectre - Scale Modelling Tribute

This Italeri 1/72 AC-130H Spectre kit presents a faithful miniature of the Lockheed AC-130 gunship, capturing the aircrafts characteristic lines and role. It is produced for modellers wanting a detailed static replica rather than an operational conversion.

Development and Role

The AC-130H Spectre was converted from the C-130 Hercules to serve as an armed tactical support platform. Notable from its early use in Vietnam onward, the type provided close air support, convoy escort and urban operations capability, elements echoed in the kit's external detailing.

Build Features

The kit highlights include accurately shaped four-blade propellers and representations of navigation and night vision upgrades. Parts are designed to emphasise surface detail and assembly satisfaction for those familiar with 1/72 builds.

Model Details

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Length: 41.3 cm
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included

How long will this model take to build?

Build time varies with experience and finishing techniques, but expect several evenings for assembly and additional time for painting and weathering to reach a display standard.

Are the parts compatible with other 1/72 kits?

While some generic components may fit across 1/72 kits, this model is engineered for its own assembly. Mixing parts from other kits is possible but may require trimming and modification.

What finishing tips improve realism?

Use pre-shading, thin washes and careful panel line work to accentuate detail. A light matt coat will protect paint and unify the finish without hiding fine moulding.

Is this kit suitable for diorama work?

Yes, the 1/72 scale is common for diorama builders. The airframes size and detail level make it a good candidate for static displays with vehicles or terrain.
