Lockheed P-3C Orion Anti-submarine Patrol Aircraft

Hasegawa 1/72

This is the Hasegawa 1/72nd P-3C Orion kit. It was built SOB, including very old decals, which had a nasty tendency to shatter when they were submerged. A quick coat of Testors' Dullcote Lacquer fixed that, though.

At some point in the near-ish future, I've got another P-3 kit that I'm going to tackle, and I hope to modify this bird into an EP-3E Aries ELINT bird. There's a couple of good conversion kits for this out there, so hopefully it won't be too hard a conversion to make.
