Did the C-130A models ever get the modified "Beaver" tails?

I am converting a model from an E to A and am doing a little research.  Did the A-model 130's get the modified beaver tail?

Short answer is yes.

I was stationed at Lockbourne from ‘68 to ‘69 and as our “A” models were sent back for refurb and updates, they came back fitted with “CPI” mod. (Crash Position Indicator)

if you look at the pictures in the “picture gallery” under my name, Tom C, you’ll see pictures to confirm this.

I hope this is what your looking for.

Possibly, the plane I am modelling was flying in Vietnam from June 67 to late 70.  I'll probably leave the beaver tail on as this reduces my workload.
