Corgi Aviation Archive Collector Series AA31311 C-130J Hercules Diecast Model RAF, RAF Lyneham, England, 2006, C-130J Limited Edition 1:144 Scale     Length     Width Lockheed C-130J Hercules     8.25"     11" The C-130J is the newest version of the Hercules and the only model still produced. Externally similar to the classic Hercules, the J model is in fact a radically different aircraft. These differences include new Rolls- Royce Allison AE2100 turboprops with six-bladed composite scimitar propellers, digital avionics (including head-up displays for each pilot), reduced crew requirements (two pilots — no navigator or flight engineer), increased reliability and up to 27-percent lower operating costs. Lockheed received the launch order for the J model from the RAF, who ordered 25 aircraft, with first deliveries beginning in 1999.
