KursadA Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Now that the Marlin and Neptune are out of the way, I am planning a couple P-3 Orion sheets in the next year. Let me know which markings you would like to see on these sheets. US subjects only for the first two sheets - I will definitely consider foreign subjects later on; like the foreign Neptune sheet I have started to work on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thegoodsgt Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I don’t have an affinity for any particular squadron, but I’d like to see a mix of USN schemes — white over grey, overall grey, low-viz. I’ll be holding out for the 1/144 release. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NASA is cool, if they are on the same sheet I will be happy, thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Electra II Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I would be VERY interested in white data stencils for the dark engine grey early `60s paint schemes (P-3A vintage) and white data stencils for the glossy black early EP-3 USN schemes (see below), because I can't print my own white data stencils. Thank you in advance!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) Great suggestions, all - many thanks for your help. I have the base drawings almost ready and you will see a series of comprehensive Orion sheets within a few months; both US and foreign. 8 hours ago, Stephen said: Iran please. I did not have this one in mind (due to lack of references), but I don't think I can say "no" to my very first customer ever - so I will make sure there will be an Iranian option on the foreign P-3 sheet.

Falcon053 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 (edited) I got one more, I know everyone has had great suggestions, but have a look at the German Marine P-3. https://www.google.com/search?q=german+p-3&prmd=vin&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjdwovY3NjXAhVLqVQKHSs8AKcQ_AUICigC&biw=360&bih=512&dpr=3#imgdii=qOD87x5Qe6Mw_M:&imgrc=oCErNbkUgWmyaM: Edited November 25, 2017 by Falcon053 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are some various nose arts that have not been done, and Revell did make some small goofs, but these have been pretty well covered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Piker38 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 For we European folk, how about something from NAS Rota in the '90's ? EP-3E Aries II VQ-2 Sandeman, JQ25 / 157325 - "Christine", 1994 - please ! There are lots of reference images on the 'net. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 (edited) I go off net for a couple of days and you start a topic on one of my favorite aircraft. In addition to those color schemes already mentioned, everyone keeps ignoring two of the most attractive schemes, so we might as well address the elephant in the room: Brazil P-3AM, & Chile P-3ACH. And Portugal P-3P. And please do every USN P-3 VP Squadron, including. my old squadrons, VP-10 & VP-23. Oh, and USC&BP P-3AEW & NOAA. Please in both 1/72 & 1/144. I don't want to sound greedy or demanding, but I have over thirty 1/144 P-3 kits, over a dozen of which need decals. I only have two 1/72, for which I have decals already. I will get off my soapbox now. R/ Dutch Edited April 20, 2018 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
