I guess that may tell you something about the drawings. You could get the
C-130 stretch conversion from Flightpath:
http://www.djparkins.clara.net/fltpath/fp72pwu_c130_fuselage.htm
and see if it fits (unlikely to help with the refuelling receptacle though),
or order the Combat Models C-141B from Rosemont Hobby:
http://www.swiftsite.com/rosemonthobby/combat.htm
and try that instead

Try a Google search for "XV241", should turn up things like this:

IIRC the CM C-141s are from the old Nova molds. If you don't want the CM
molding, you could hunt for the old Nova kit.

The C-130 and C-141 have different diameter fuselages, despite carrying the
same size cargo (except in length). The C-130 has no walkway on either side
(save for the 463L rail locks on each side) and the C-141 has a small walkway
on each side with cargo loaded.
