The printed MAFFS 1:144 set captures the modular airborne firefighting system loaded into the cargo compartment of the Lockheed C-130 Hercules. It is an accessory to a model, not a kit of the aircraft.
Responsibility details are not available.
The set for 1:144 scale represents the MAFFS modular airborne firefighting system, that is an outfit of pressure tanks with retardant and a discharge pipe, which is loaded into the fuselage of the four-engine transport aircraft. The package contains the parts of the system only; the model of the aircraft itself you need to have separately. The parts are printed by 3D technology, so even in this small scale they hold a readable shape for the tanks, the frames and the pipework.
The charm of MAFFS is that it turns an ordinary transport machine into a firefighting special only for the duration of its deployment. The outfit is loaded into an aircraft before the season and taken out again after it, so the aircraft does not lose its original role. It is used where, during extensive wildfires, the capacity of specialized firefighting aircraft has to be increased quickly.
In 1:144 scale the parts are really small. Work with tweezers over a surface with a raised edge, so that nothing drops out of sight, and cut directly under a light. First wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water and sand the remains of the supports with the finest paper. Glue with super glue applied with the point of a pin - a drop from the tube would flood the joint. Apply the paint very thinly, ideally with an airbrush, because a heavy layer would flood the detail in this scale. Keep the wash and the dry brush restrained, otherwise the model will look artificial.
The set contains supplementary parts only, not a kit of the aircraft. It is supplied unassembled and unpainted; glue, paints and other accessories are not part of the package, unless stated otherwise.
