Hasegawa P-3B - 10 Squadron RAAF


Recommended Posts

I finished this one back in 2016.

 

A9-300 was destroyed by an oxygen fire during maintenance back in January 1984, I wanted to do a P-3B with some 'history'

I converted the Hasegawa P-3C to a B with the now OOP Hamilton Hobbies conversion set which included the searchlight at and replacement sonobuoy panel. I also used a Hamilton Hobbies Weapons bay for the build as well.

Nice work mate. It looks exactly the way I remember them before they changed over to the ghost grey paint. I grew up not far from RAAF Edinburgh and can remember hearing the drone of those Allison turbo props from my house almost daily.

Ray, 

   My 1st impression was the same as Madhatter. Thought you'd found the perfect method for fire/smoke .  But once I figured out that was the real deal, and your was a pristine build. I marveled out the level of your work. That's one outstanding build for sure.
