OLD c-130 Crew Chief here.

The Flying models plans are pretty good especially for their time. C-130's fly the pattern mostly gear down anyway so it saves a lot of hassle &complexity to just have 'em fixed. The Skip Mast version(M.A.N.) nose gear is 99% scale in action. The mains , to keep some sanity are maybe 75% scale . from the out side you'll hardly tell the difference. full size are on 4 jackscrews & tied by torque struts fore &aft to each other.each side goes up &down together (or not at all).left side starts first. I can't imagine a C-130 with a bomb bay yet in the floor . the fuselage is weak enough with the cargo ramp &door cutouts.floor panels are very much part of the integral strength of the fuselage.
