Sons of Electra

A place for our military aviation modellers to show their stuff. It may not be civil but it still has a home here

Some of you may have seen progress shots of the AP-3C on the ADF Modelling Facebook group.

It is now complete. I used the Hamilton hobbies conversion set as a basis and added extras that were not included or corrected the shapes on some of the supplied parts. It's finished in 10SQN markings from Aussie and DekLs sheets.

The TAP-3B was a shelf of doom project that I decided to finish with the AP-3C, I de-modded the P-3C to a P-3B and used DekLs decals to finished it.

Indeed Wal, the TAP-3 started out as Paisano Tres but I stuffed up the paint.

One day!

Nice work Ray, looking good, well except for the fact that they are so boring in those ultra low contrast markings

On a side note, a few Orions have been going out of here lately, haven't bothered to find out what they' are, could be the ex RAAF ones going overseas maybe or an AP-3 doing it's stuff against a Chinese Fishing boat with electronic listening devices :D
