There's a plastic toy C-130 out there. Not in BA markings, but a
C-130. I have a tan one the kid can have. Most are dark green & sold
with soldiers & eqpt. I think I have a large photo of FA autographed by
the BA pilots from back in the '80s. If the kid's really hung up on FA,
that might be something he'd like. AFAIK there were a couple of models,
1/72 kit by Testors(?) & a roughly 1/144 one by Revell back in the
'70s.

Thanks Frank appreciate it, tried a C-130 w/o marking's already and it
didnt work, but it was a generous offer and we all thank you for it.
Let me know about that pic though, I know he would like that.

The first issue of the Italeri/Testors Herk came with those markings. I
have them up for the taking if you want them. Just drop me a line at
jessie_c_2(at)hotmail(dot)com with your address and I'll get them in the
mail to you.
