Great job !

I made skins for the French Armée de l'Air (early and late) few time ago, I can share them with you if it can be useful.

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 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
