Italeri 1/72 AC-130H Spectre - Precision Scale Replica

This Italeri 1/72 AC-130H Spectre kit recreates the Lockheed AC-130 gunship with careful attention to scale and form, reflecting its long service in U.S. operations. The assembly presents an accurate static model intended for display by collectors and hobbyists who value historical detail.

Operational Legacy

The AC-130H Spectre was adapted from the C-130 Hercules into an armed tactical support aircraft. First used in the Vietnam War, it became known for close air support, convoy escort duties, and urban mission roles. This kit gives model makers a way to explore that operational history in miniature.

Scale Detail and Features

Italeri has moulded parts to reproduce key visual elements like the four-blade propellers and the upgraded navigation and night vision systems. Panel lines and component shapes aim to provide a satisfying build for those experienced with 1/72 aircraft kits.

How difficult is the Italeri 1/72 AC-130H Spectre to assemble?

This is a detailed kit with small parts and fine features. It is best suited to intermediate or advanced modellers who are comfortable with careful trimming, fitting and painting.

What adhesives and paints work best for this kit?

Is this kit ready for conversion to an RC model?

This design is intended as a static display model. Converting to radio control would require extensive modification, custom mounts and careful weight management, so it is not recommended for most builders.

What basic tools should I have before starting?

A hobby knife, sprue cutters, sanding sticks, tweezers, plastic cement, and fine brushes are recommended. Patience and a tidy workspace make large 1/72 assemblies far easier to complete.
