    I see Eduard have announced that this project is on hold, and they are prioritising more economically lucrative projects ahead of this one.

    Not especially. Some of the Sonobuoys are common, as are Marker Location Marines and SUSs.

    Why? P8 hardly adds a lot of aircraft movements to OH. 3SQN has a purpose built facility at Ohakea for the rotary wing, and 14SQN has recently upgraded the facilities for the Texans (ours aren't called Harvard IIs)

    F-15 idea died a death years ago. Oddly enough around the time the planning for the P8 first started.

    If you struggle to locate SJU-9 seats (and you probably will...), pretty much any Martin Baker Mk.10 (other than the Tornado) version will suffice in 1/72. The visual difference between the US SJU-5 and the SJU-9 (and 10) is the 'export' harness. This harness features the full harness with quick release fitting visually the same as that on UK seats, rather than the USN use of Koch fittings that clip to the pilot's shoulders and waist. The only other thing to match up is to get a seat with the appropriate canopy breaker arrangement on the head box as these vary between aircraft types.

    Those wing pylon fairings don't really look that representative of the real thing either. The centre panel looks odd, very 'lumpy'.

    Here's is the official ADF document. Colour markings start on page 26 of 110. These colours are standardised. Note the reference to Significant and Non-significant colour markings. https://defence.gov.au/jcg/jlc/Documents/DEOP_101/eDEOP101-10Section2-ClassificationofExplosives.pdf

    yes I work on several, but it's not personal, just pointing out facts.

    No, they are lacquers. You probably don't even need to thin them, but if you want to, Tamiya lacquer thinner works perfectly.

    Big enough for five MK54s.

    A bit late to the party, sorry, but the P-8A has got two centre line forward fuselage pylons with BRU-75s installed (same BRU's as weapon bay with 14 inch suspension). Currently nothing stores cleared for these pylons, which is why you wont yet see any aircraft with them installed.

    P-8A doesn't use the terminology 'bomb bay'. It has a Weapons bay with five BRUs with torpedo and Mil-Std-1760 connections for Mk-54 Torpedo, smart weapons and SAR kits. It also has two forward fuselage pylons and up to four under wing pylons.
