Hmmm I do like the old Electra,

but the Welsh model looks a little odd to me, dont know what it is..maybe the nose / cockpit shape?

I had an Electra / Orion conversion once, but sold it to Ray Sepalla years ago.. I still kick myself occasionally over that!

Yeah....I had a 1:72 P-3 to Electra conversion kit as well, but I ended up buying the Welsh Electra, (lovely kit!!!) and gave the conversion kit to Kev. You want a weird-shaped Electra.... have a look at the 1:144th Minicraft kit, it's nearly unusable.
