Well, this kit certainly is big, the biggest I've attempted for sometime. First released by Hasegawa in 1979: My kit is the Revell 2006 re-box: The kit doesn't look that complex, although such size always brings its own (potential) issues: I will probably go for the USN aircraft. The prospect of hand-painting the entire airframe with two coats of paint is one of the reasons why I am allowing myself as much time as possible for this build.

WIP here: This started out as a very ordinary model I built back in (I think) 1981. Added the Hamilton Hobbies AP-3C (ELINT) conversion and Quickboost propellers, added some crew figures from a couple of WWII bomber kits that seemed to fit the bill okay and modified/scratchbuilt a few antennae, I retracted the gear as I wanted it as a flying desktop model and made the stand from an old bookshelf and brass rod. Decals from Aussie Decals (silvered like crazy) and C-130 prop decals from Bring It! (absolutely brilliant). The badges represent the flying squadron (10SQN) and the engineering support unit (SRSPO). It's going on my desk at work next year. It was always intended as a quick restoration build, not a full-on detail model. There's one in the stash for that but it will be an 11SQN standard AP-3C with Hawkeye Models decals and on its gear. Comments and critiques welcome.
