VMA131Marine Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I’ll be honest and say I don’t see this surpassing the LS/Arii/MicroAce kit, which is an excellent rendition. Maybe the upside is it will encourage production of new aftermarket decals as these were always the weak spot of the Arii kit. Certainly this kit is going to be a lot more expensive. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/arii-33001-800-lockheed-p-3c-orion--157239 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teeradej Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Shape of cockpit window area is much better than Arii kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Monday Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Is there any further news on this kit? I'd imagine that the current issues in that part of the world are affecting the production of this model. BM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted July 29, 2023 Author Share Posted July 29, 2023 (edited) Eastern Express is a Moscovian company which model kits were designed and produced in Ukraine. You can imagine what's happened after February 24th, 2022. The Ukrainian designer (link) has established a new brand: X-Scale Models (link). So maybe one day under this new label... V.P.

Blue Monday Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 OK. Thanks. I thought that might be the case. Hopefully this kit sees the light of day, along with the L188 Electra. BM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare the windshield of an actual P-3 to that of the LS kit. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least one modeler can’t live with it. He substituted kit supplied cockpit window part with sclupted epoxy. https://bonoddh-pla.hatenablog.com/entry/2021/06/28/151000 Edited August 6, 2023 by Teeradej Image inserted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
