Every time I buy AirForces Monthly it gives me new ideas....
There'll be 3 repaints - 2 based at Stockholm Skavsta (ESKN)n and 1 at Sigonella (LICZ) for Frontex's Operation Triton

I do the same, subscribed to Combat Aircraft by snail mail and AFM comes digital on the iPad. I do notice the articles are similar (collaboration between authors?). I see a new paint picture and think "I wonder if anyone on MAIW has seen this yet?"

Just uploaded for inclusion in the Downloads Library.
Ethiopia is, I think, the last country to require repaints of at least some of their C130 fleet, unless someone can prove me wrong.

It would be nice to finally have all the Alberts done, but my guess is that there is some additions in places that weren't covered by the original packages.
The obvious one I can think of is the C-130Js that the Israelis now have. From what I believe they have gone to 103 Sqn and the others are now all in 131 Sqn. I have a feeling the French have started getting some Js as well.
I am guessing that you used this page for a guide, Jim.

Yep, Wiki is your friend, that along with C130.net and a couple of other sites do help.
What I meant was, that countries that are operating C130s now have some C130s flying. There are always going to be gaps in newly bought/replacement airframes. The Israeli & French C-130Js seems like a nice place to start
