Paul Kinney Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Looking for low vis decals for a 1:72 P-3C Orion Build for a friend who flew one, It was specifically VP-47 Golden Swordsmen but I can print some of the specifics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trojan Thunder Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Paul, Hasegawa released the P-3 kit in VP-47 markings some time ago, would they work for you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Kinney Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 Was it the low vis scheme, if so yes. I may have to print some specifics but having that sheet would be a great head start. I did not find any on E-Bay so I came to ARC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The 'VP-47' part in the post by @Trojan Thunderis a link to the Scalemates page showing the box art - overall low-vis scheme with colour tail markings... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Kinney Posted July 17, 2021 Author Share Posted July 17, 2021 Thank you. Those decals would work, thanks for the tip. The plane I am modeling had the low vis tail marking so I need to print those. I bought the other Hasegawa kit because it was the only one around still. Does anyone know of a forum to search for decal sets? Maybe someone has one stashed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trojan Thunder Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I may have a set, need to check the stash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trojan Thunder Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Been trawling my stuff and yet to find them, might have off loaded the kit. Will give a definitive in the next couple of days Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trojan Thunder Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Paul, I have been through my kits and it looks like I off loaded the one that had these decals in it. Sorry I could not help Edited July 27, 2021 by Trojan Thunder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
82Whitey51 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Paul, just checked my P-3 decals...no dice. I'm pretty sure the only VP-47 sheet was the one in the Hasegawa boxing. Can't say I've ever seen their marking otherwise...and like you mentioned, it's the lo-viz scheme but a hi-viz "tail flash". In the meantime, both Caracal (check his thread under the Caracal heading) and Furball are supposed to be doing P-3 Orions in the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
