This is my rendition of Hasegawa's Martin SP-5B/P5M-2S Marlin. This is a fairly old kit with the molds dating back to 1971 according to Scalemates. It does show its age with raised panel lines and a very sparse interior, but it went together issue free and only took 12 days start to finish. Given its age I was surprised to see that with the exception of Caracal decals there are no after market parts. I used the Caracal decals, printed by MicroScale, since the kit ones were old and yellowing. I also used a Pavla S2F cockpit interior which fit pretty well and was better then the original non interior. All together a pleasant build.
On to the pictures:
I can't get a good picture of the cockpit, but this is the best I can do
Next up is the Heller EC-121 Warningstar for which I do have a boat load of after market parts.
Enjoy
