Model Alliance have a decal sheet out that includes markings for an RAF
C-130J Hercules C.5 serving in Afghanistan. The plane is overall camouflage
grey, but there are dark green areas on the underside, and extending some
distance up one side of the a/c, but not the other.
Does any one know the reason for it being painted in this manner?
Thanks,
Don Harstad

Don,
it is a special protective membran used on the british herks.
See Scale Aircraft Modelling Vol. 30 No. 5 (July 2008), there is a nice
article about the C-130J with drawings also of the C.5
Regards from Germany
Stephan
