Has any company ever made a C-130 airplane in Ho or close enough for HO? In August or September, I'll be jumping out of a low flying C-130 and I thought a airborne jump scene would be fit for my layout!

How large is your layout? A 1/72 scale C-130 is going to take up a fair amount of space!

I'll second Hypo's take. We like to think of trains as big, but they're absolutely dwarfed by their avian brethren.

If you want to simulate a drop, a smaller model would probably work better... just invoke some forced perspective. HO modelers have long strategically used N scale models to assist the distance illusion.
