It came out in late October 2017 and we have sold over 200 already. We have another batch on order from CMR with some for ourselves and some for Aviation Megastore who sold their order in one afternoon. When do you expect more P2V-5 / OP-2E sets in, please?

82Whitey51 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) For anyone that purchased the P2V sheet with the OP-2E (VO-67) decals on it, Blackbird Models has finally released the OP-2E conversion set 🙂 https://www.blackbirdmodels.co.uk/lockheed-op-2e-neptune-conversion-72-2253-p.asp Edited June 1, 2020 by 82Whitey51 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) Andy, I don't need the extra OP-2E stuff, just the forward fuselage, canopy and maybe wing tanks. Will Blackbird re-issue their earlier P2V-5 Neptune MR.1 set? K/r. Dutch Edited June 2, 2020 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Will Blackbird re-issue their earlier P2V-5 Neptune MR.1 set? K/r. Dutch I don't know if or when they'll re-release the -5 set again. You could try dropping them an email and asking, they'll (he'll?? I think it is just one guy) typically respond back. I'd been no kidding checking their site everyday for almost a year checking on the OP-2E set, I kind of forgot about it...then on Sunday thought, "hey, maybe I should take a look", and it was listed as available. My wife's uncle was a flight engineer on them with VO-67 (Crew 10/aircraft 10, featured on the Caracal sheet) so that pretty much explains my obsession with wanting to build one.

I had the old "In Country" set...but sold it when I heard these guys were going to do one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 No, I scratched all parts except the canopy. HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
