Author's notes
I based this on the RC-130A, RF-4C, and RC-135U.
All of its "upgrades" such as the AEELS, HIAC-1 LOROP, AN/AAQ-24 DIRCM and AN/APQ-99 don't exist in simpleplanes. I only conducted some research on such systems just to make it's lore "realistic".
Feel free to modify it however you want, I would like to see it hehehe. Anyways thanks for upvoting. And btw, if you notice it has ReinMCDeer style, that's because I based it on his builds. I got inspired from him and NewWorldAerospace too.

@Sockdragger I did it on purpose. Because ReinMCDeer does that too. And I'm a fan of his builds.
Warning: In case you missed it. This plane has the Trim and VTOL sliders switched. You operate the flaps by sliding the left 'Trim' slider down, you trim the plane with the right side VTOL slider.
Once you got used to that, or once you (like me) switched the controls back, the plane flies like a breeze.
@DJRianGamerYT yep. And matter of fact, most c130 variants got a new nose. Such examples are: C-130K W.2 XV208(used for meteorological research), YMC-130H and JC-130
Goofy ahh C-130 nose 💀
