Looks great and works really well! The acrylic came in mostly unscathed and it's from the shipping process for sure and not the manufacturer. Only a small scuff at the bottom so not noticeable unless you're looking for it.
Bring Home the C-130 Hercules
Showcase the unmistakable profile of the C-130 Hercules with this handcrafted C-130 Hercules 3D LED lamp. Its high-wing design, four-engine layout, and legendary military transport silhouette make it a fitting display for pilots, loadmasters, flight engineers, maintainers, veterans, military families, and aviation enthusiasts.
The aircraft is precision-etched into a clear acrylic panel. When the LED base is illuminated, the C-130 appears to float in three dimensions, creating a distinctive display for a desk, shelf, nightstand, squadron space, office, or military memorabilia collection.
Each lamp is handcrafted in the USA by our veteran-owned family business. Add custom engraving to create a personalized Air Force or military aviation gift for a retirement, promotion, birthday, deployment, homecoming, reunion, unit recognition, or career milestone.

I got the C-130 for my son. He loves it.
Was a C130 Loadmaster, and I can hear and smell the engines in my memory when I look at it. I need to get a longer USB cable to put it up higher, but it’s perfect. Love the colors though gray is missing, but the different settings that I can access with the remote, fantastic. Worth every penny.
Great product. These are great.
Love the design! Fits perfectly on my desk. Looking forward to buying more designs!
This plane is so cool.
It’s great I posted it online and got almost 100 likes. (In Air Rescue group)
Fantastic item. Wonderful quality. Personalization makes for a special gift.
Small than expected. COuld have used better directions in the box.
I was slightly disappointed that the model was an HC-130 instead of the C-130. Otherwise, it is okay!
It look so life like dad flew one of these in Vietnam first one on the ground an 130 missions he loves it thanks
I love this so much. They are wonderful and I’m going to give them to my brothers and they will be blown away. I especially like that it is a veteran owned company and thank you for your service.
Cool
How do you replace the lights?
COOL! I really think they are going to be a neat concept for the homeby!
I’m very happy with the product and my son in law who is just finishing his 20 yrs in the service will love it as his Christmas gift.
VERRY HAPPY
Purchased this item for my office. Love it
This is a gift for my husband. He retired from the military after 39.8 years. I have not given it to him as it is for Christmas but I was thrilled with the craftsmanship! It is a blessing as what do you get a man that has everything? This will be a delight and I am sure a huge surprise. Thank you and bless you for making this Christmas extra special!
very nice addition to my office thank you!
T he C-130 lamp goes well together with my Huey helo lamp. Being a Vietnam veteran with the the 101st Airborne Division I'm very familiar with both of these aircraft and have flown in both. They are both on my desk in my office at my home. Thanks for the memories Allan Bonner
well done
Nice ambience for the room
Only drawback is the light not expanding enough to include the nose of the aircraft. Otherwise, very happy with the product.
I bought this for my husband’s office. It’s perfect!!! Love the remote to change the colors- very cool!!!
Awesome

Store owner replied: Hi Robert, We checked into the status of your package. The USPS routed it to an incorrect sorting facility. It has now arrived in your hub and should be with you shortly. We'll check again tomorrow with USPS to make sure you receive it. Kind regards, Brandon
The plane and engraving look great. Just tried the base where it sits on and can't get it to operate correctly it just vibrates one color. Tried the remote and it won't shut ot off or change functions. Do yoi want me to send the base back?
EVERY THING WAS GREAT , ONLY THE NOSE AREA DOES NOT SEEM TO BE AS BRIGHT AS THE REST OF THE AIRCRAFT.
