This is an appealing project! Verrrrrrryyyyy interestink

congrats! well done Ian! He accomplished a task I failed! I got there eventually but it took another 30 years to obtain… once again, well done Ian

Well, damn! Just…damn!! That looks exactly like the dude! that takes me back a few years…a few decades…to a much happier time! love it! Very nicely realized, I can hear his voice as I look at the images. thanks for posting this!

You’re correct sir. Tamiya fine putty, white. With the volume I’ve been going through doing vac builds, I’ve bought 3 more tubes. Kind of like dry wall mud, apply, sand repeat

I've "riveted" and scribed the panel lines on the horizontal stabilizers and a first for this project...glued some kit parts together. adding sheet stock allows me to fill the rounded over soft look to the part and add filler to get a much sharper appearance; Thanks for looking

You know me too well dude... The panel line detail and riveting is mostly completed on the main planes, the wing tips will be...modified to represent the sensors and doodads on them. The ailerons will be cut out after the wing upper and lower halves are joined. I thought about cutting them out...

Damned Sharkmouth contributing to my delinquency. Posted images of Master static wicks on another thread...had to hunt some down and order them. It's only money right? Back on topic, I was scribing panel lines onto the wings finished the long lines when I realized I was following the leading...

Thread robbing (briefly) those static wicks would look awesome on a 1/48 CP-140 Great work on the Su mate! going to make a dio. of it buzzing a reaper?

yup that helps all right. My concern is that the front (forward facing) windshield is almost vertical with very little rearward slope as it angles up to the roof line, the roof line is technically wrong when laid over a general arrangement drawing as well being too flat...but it is a vac. kit...

Gift?…..curse? Tomato Tomato? now working on an idea I have to re-create the forward upper roof line in order to re-profile the front windshield (it’s too steep making the windshield look flat faced (the included clear part is exactly the same but, clear) I’m thinking I’ll use the kit clear part...

I've finished adding the vents to the wing lower surfaces, thinking I was getting close to closing the wing halves I figured it's time to do that all important panel line detailing on the wings, I have one wing half scribed and riveted, I'll need to add some access panels but that can be done...

nacelle louvers, silicon and resin copied from a 1/72 Russian helicopter sanded down and test fitting in place temporary tacked in place Thanks for looking

First off, you’re doing a fantastic job on this kit, even with crap instructions. And it’s a great subject! And that’s kinda why I am adding my 0.02c, I built the trumpeter 1/32 version of this model (we play tennis on it in better weather) I “tacked” the gear covers on the model to paint the...

A little more dry fitting/ farting around going on...the devil finding work and all that. wing spar added I'll notch and add dihedral soon fitting the flap inserts; Thanks for looking

Sharp eye my friend. I’ve bought these (AttackSquadron?- now Brengun? flaps) for Italeri’s C-130 (Well they’re both Lockheed products) 2 sets of resin “reskit” wheels for E2C Hawkeye, 2 sets of quickboost props, also for the the Hawkeye. SAC metal landing gear for (again) the E2C and a set for...

A bit of progress since I was here last. Other than turning plastic into shavings and dust. I've measured up (ok kind of roughly) and began building the nose gear bay. The all important disclaimer now, this isn't accurate just my rendition of some of the structure I could see from images. I've...

Thanks. I was using images of...god knows what it was. The subject was listed as a P-3 Orion but that's the hazard of using the internet for reference pictures. Lots of pictures of the instrument panel, very few of the flight deck from the I.P. looking rearward. I went to Scalemates and used a...

A little progress, nothing too great and certainly nothing to brag about but, I am quite happy with the fit of the quickboost props to the kit engines; and moving ahead on building the flight deck, adding windows; construction of the cabin floor/nose gear bay roof; spare seats from...a...

The first few bits from Hannants have shown up in the mail today, props/ spinners quite nice compared to what is in the "kit" for propulsion I've also begun adding interior strengtheners, purists may hate that I'm not adding any details but, I'm hoping this way I will not need a metric ton of...
