KursadA Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 CD144024 will be a 1/144 sheet for the P-3 Orion. I might need a 1/144 P-3 kit to design the windshield markings - please let me know if you can lend me one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) Kursad, I will be more than happy to lend you a 1/144 P-3C kit. Be advised that LS [ARII] got the windscreen wrong. They left out the center window pane. I am trying three options. 1. File a center pane onto the existing kit windscreen and polish. 2. Make a durable mold and cast clear resin copies of No.1. 3. Work with a 3D printer to print correct windscreen as a drop-in replacement for LS/ARII part. If you are going to the trouble of making a windscreen decal, it may as well be correct. So I will send along my No.1 attempt with the kit. K/r, Dutch Edited June 7, 2020 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

K/r, Dutch I went option 1. with the two I built a couple of years ago, though I painted the panels black rather than polishing and masking Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Windscreen decals work fine in 1/144 as I think we are accustomed to that for the airliners. Not sure if possible but maybe seeing an interior on the decal would work? I remember seeing some airliner decals with crew in the decal recently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
