CD72090 - 1/72 P-3 Orion Part 1

While it looks like I sold a metric ton of Demo F-16C sheets, interestingly the P-3 Orion sheet is the best seller of this batch. It looks like I sold about half of the print run in the preorders.

 

Thanks for the overwhelming interest and your patience while I worked on the P-3 infrastructure for this and future sheets. I have started shipping these on August 8 as planned, and I am looking forward to hearing what you think about it. Order yours while I still have these, and stay tuned for the next P-3 sheet coming sometime around the end of the year.

Also, will there be 1/144 counterpart sheets to these for the Otaki/LS kit?

 

I believe Kursad has mentioned that 144024 is allocated for his 1/144 P-3C sheet.

Kursad has singlehandedly doubled the price of the Hasegawa kit on Ebay! Very much looking forward to getting my sheets as well as a few sets on the later release....grats on your hard work and success!

Got my decals here in SLC.

 

 Looks gorgeous!  Now, where’s that P-3 I dragged from Ft. Lewis, to Schweinfurt, to Kitzigen, to Ft. Huachuca, to Tokyo, to Yorktown and now Utah?

Many of you in the US must have received your decals by now - please let me (and everyone) know what you think. Thanks!

I have not as of yet.

They look great! I'm still waiting on mine to arrive. Hopefully this week. 

 

Kursad..... I know that you're considering this, but a release of just the stencils and wing walks would be great as well. Thanks, Fred K.

It's very apparent how much work this was, even the instruction booklet is a work of art! Just beautifully done.

 

And this is why we should all be patient when Kursad announces new releases. Clearly, each of these decals takes time to design, both the decals and the instructions.

 Alright, well from a P-3 crewman perspective...I gotta say, THEY'RE FANTASTIC!

 

Particularly the stencil and data portion (could certainly be sold as a separate sheet). I love how you designed the wing walks, with the large sections of what's typically clear film removed, and also the inclusion of the different pitot/static ports and RESCUE arrows. Great work.

 

The squadron markings are sharp! The later version of the VQ-1 bat looks spot on, finally available on a sheet...I may jump into building one of those soon, in it's final antenna configuration.

 

Looking forward to Part 2.

I got my two sheets today, and would echo everyone's comments..... they're awesome! The stenciling alone is worth the price of admission. To that end, Kursad, I would definitely encourage you to do a run of stencil sheets, both high and low vis. They might even sell better than the Orion sheet by itself 😆. I'd be down for about 6 myself! Thanks, Fred K.

Mine arrived today and, I couldn't agree more Whitey.

Now I just need to get our hallway bathroom remodel finished and, I can get back to the bench and my EP-3.
