This is a plastic model of a C-130J Hercules® military aircraft. This model is made by Italeri in 1:72 scale. Once you assemble the model, it will measure about 16.25 inches from nose to tail. This is a pretty good size for a plastic model and would look awesome hanging from the ceiling.
There is a multilingual instruction sheet with diagrams, drawings and a decal sheet for three different looks. Something that makes this model kit a little different is that a picture book is included (image on left). This model is recommended for ages 10 and up. The plastic cement and paint is not included.
