Amazing work, but i believe you make a litte mistake with the kc-130 numbers in spanish service, the kc-130 or tk-10 in spanish air force nomeclature was squadron 312, and the planes had wing number starting in 50 

kc-130h s/n 382-4642 was 31-50 (tk-10-05) nose number 5

kc-130h s/n 382-4648 was 31-51 (tk-10-06) nose number 6

kc-130h s/n 382-4652 was 31-52 (tk-10-07) nose number 7

kc-130h s/n 382-4871 was 31-53 (tk-10-11) nose number 11

kc-130h s/n 382-4874 esd 31-54 (tk-10-12) nose number 12

it would be appreciated, esp for the early 90s timeframe (when most of my modding takes place). there is a C-130H-30 coming soon, and France and Kuwait are top of the list for that model, but i know France also had 3 non stretch H models as well. serials would esp. be a big help

are the serial showing up in game? this started for another project (under wraps for a few more weeks) and a photo from dstorm.eu showed a KC there without refuel pods acting as regular transport. That version had all listed, this version that is currently H only should be ini restricted to just teh H serials (C-130H first then KC-130H in the numberlist). that way, when the KC-130H is ready, i can just use the same decal folder.

also, is the wing number a recent change? all source pics i referenced were 31-xx. but i did not search much past 1994 given the scope of my project

EDIT: pics on airliners.net and dstorm.eu show how i have it on there before 1994, then the 50 series after 1994.  will do a little more digging, but barring a great revelation it will likely stay teh same as the mod is Euro Herks in the 80s. thank you tho for the input and spot checking :good: just means i'll have to do another sub folder  for post 94

main references for general knowledge were airliners.net, airbritianpics.co.uk and c-130.net as well as World Air Power Journal Vol 18
