Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I will be attempting the Haseagwa P-3 as a CP-140. I have a number of decal sheets for the CP-140 and will be attempting a Fincastle Trophy participant, so a little extra bling will be added to the standard grey scheme. Pictures to follow shortly. If I do get this done in time and mojo is still going then I will have a crack at a Bombardier RJ. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Oh yes! this'll be good. A very nice looking aeroplane, turned a bit sinister with all those lumps and bumps! Cheers John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogsbody Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Watching this build, for sure! I grew up about an hour's drive from Greenwood and my aunt lived a few miles away from the airbase, in the small town of Kingston. One of my earliest childhood memories is of a large aircraft flying over our backyard. I think it was a Canadair CP-107 Argus. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 Some progress to report, Since I have built a few of these P-3 kits now I don't follow the instructions. I started with despruing the parts Being a newer mould kit there is some flash to clean up, mainly on the wing, engine and prop parts Some basic assembly started on the engines and cockpit bulkheads 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 So I made some progress, painted the fuselage interior, nice blue eh? and the cockpit parts. Some of the sonobuoy tubes had to be filled for the CP-140 as well adding the decals Back filled the wing weapons pylon mounting holes I have had an Eduard update set lying around so I decided I would use some of it on this build, here is the process of adding the main wheel wells, the other has to be done 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted August 5, 2022 Author Share Posted August 5, 2022 Getting on with the other main wheel well, broke out the Mission Master etch bender, I got it about 15 years ago and have hardly used it In position And it needed some persuasion to get the wing closed up ( more so that the other side. The wing and tailplanes were fitted and it is now looking like the P-3/CP-140 Once the glue sets there will be some seam work to tidy up. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Coming along nicely! That Eduard set looks quite comprehensive. Cheers John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers John Cheers John, Yes there certainly is a lot there, I probably won't use a lot of it. I have a few more kits in the stash I can use the parts not going on this one so it won't go to waste.

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted August 24, 2022 Author Share Posted August 24, 2022 Slow progress on the Aurora, I have managed to add the other engines and do some filling. Some pictures to come when more progress occurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilrabit Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Hey mate Looking good.. Sorry a little bit off topic.. I was looking up a400m and came accross your previous build.. Did you still happen to have the original decal sheet.. and would you be prepared to part with it as i am struggling to find one.. I just picked up this model but got the newer version but would like to build it as the test military scheme.. Hopefully you dont mind me asking and fingers crossed you can help.. Thank you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 Moving along slowly here, had a big filling and sanding session getting all the engine nacelles sorted I also masked and added the larger clear parts I need to sort out the nose wheel well detail and add the antenna in prep for some painting. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Looking good Ray. I built one of these about 40 years ago - it really is about time I got round to building another! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well actually, No. 11 if you count the kit I butchered trying to convert to an Electra (bad resin in the conversion set) quite a few years ago.

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted October 15, 2022 Author Share Posted October 15, 2022 Well this one is stalled and with other higher priority builds to get done in the next couple of weeks I won't be getting back to it anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
