1:72 scale AP-3C ORION

After completing a 1:35 scale AP-3C ORION for TENIX AEROSPACE in 2006, we decided rather than waste the 1:72 scale kit of the P-3 we used to help design the large model, we would complete the small model for display.

The model is based on the HASEGAWA P-3C ORION kit. New aerials, FLIR system and wingtips were scratch built and added to the kit model. Painted in overall mid grey with decals produced by DMG, the model is a smaller version of that we produced for TENIX. The model was mounted on a clear acrylic stand and added to our collection of Australian military models. It will be used for displays by DMG.
