Italeri AC-130H Spectre Aircraft (1/72)

The Lockheed AC-130 Spectre is an armed tactical support version of the

C-130 Hercules. The AC-130 initially replaced AC-47 and AC-119 in the

supporting role during the war in Vietnam. USAF used the AC-130 for

close support, area interdiction and force protection. Close air

support roles include supporting ground troops, escorting convoys, and

flying urban operations. Air interdiction missions are conducted

against planned targets and targets of opportunity, whereas force

protection missions include defending air bases and other facilities.

The AC-130 Gunship arrived in South Vietnam on 21 September 1967 and

began combat operations that same year. After the conflict in Vietnam,

the U.S. Air Force designed a new range of these aircraft's basing on

the C-130 H version, equipped with far more powerful engines, with

four-blade propellers and upgraded versions of the navigation and night

vision. The AC-130H called “Spectre” were used in all the conflicts

involving the U.S. Force of the last decade and, after further

upgrades, they are still used in the conflict in Afghanistan.
