KursadA Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 CD72055 will be a 1/72 sheet intended for the Hasegawa 1/72 P2V-7 Neptune kit, with primarily US Navy markings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Antoine Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Obvious question is, can we expect a following foreign Neptun sheet in the near future? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Is it too late to make suggestions? Hi Paul, I just started drawing markings last week - this is the right time for any suggestions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dekon70 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 A P2V from NAS Quonset Point would be neat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Corey Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Very exciting! Would you consider doing at least one P2V-5 as well? The falcon conversion is still available and without suitable markings. Any chance of including air tanker P2V's? I've got photos if you need them. Corey in Colorado Quote Link to post Share on other sites
82Whitey51 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Hmmm...I'm a VP guy, I'll have to toss out some suggestions. VP-26 for starters, because the "Trident" just looks cool (and 26 is my old squadron); If you have some space leftover, you might consider a VO-67 bird. I know they flew OP-2Es (modified P2V-5, and not the P2V-7 that Hasegawa has) but I see people hunting for the WolfPak decals sheet featuring one of their aircraft often enough that I bet you'd make some folks happy. P-2s...nice :)/> could P-3s be next?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Boyer Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I've always wanted to do the cover subject of Squad/Sig's book on the Neptune. VP-24 in the white-top over "seaplane" (patrol) gray (FS 26081), but I can't back up Greer's artwork with a photo. However, I found the same unit markings on the later white top over light gull gray scheme here: http://bathead.com/noseart2.html You could do both with the tail-tip design being common to both schemes. You do know, of course, that the white-top dark bottom is seaplane gray, not sea blue as depicted in some paintings, right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 I am considering adding foreign options or possibly doing a foreign Neptune sheet as well - just no clear plans at this time. I will let you know as soon as I have something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
buffbuff Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I hope you will consider adding RB-69A Air Force markings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will let you know as soon as I have something. Thanks. I think there's ample room for one US and one foreign sheets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Argentina used P-2's during the Falklands to guide the Etendards and the gunship and intel versions during Vietnam are neat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Netz Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I've been looking for decals to finish a P2V-5 of PS-4 for over a year now, Foreign ones are quite common to find, Just basic markings and generic lettering for a white over grey would make me happy.

Whenever I can do something in camo I am all in. I have two Hasegawa Neptune kits with one earmarked for Canadian markings so if Kursad does a sheet that has this Argentine scheme I will have to get that :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
titan8251 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) Why not VP-8 "LC" (my old squadron) and VP-67 (my Dads old squadron) and A VP-10 and VP-21 In Brunswick Maine. Edited April 6, 2016 by titan8251 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are a few 10SQN sheets are around but I have had a hard time finding 11SQN material. Plenty of images here though I not sure of the colour of the fincap, could be red.
