for a What If themed contest, i am converting a Lockheed P-3 Orion into a civilian airliner. should be easy as the P-3 is already based on a Civilian aircraft.
i called it the Junior Electra, as it is a shorter version of the L-188.

Nils SteyaertUpdate:
this project is turning into a disaster at a rapid pace 🙁
first thing that went wrong last week was that the cockpit windows started to cloud up due to paintfumes from fitting in the noseweights. the more i tried to fix the issue the worst it got, so i had no choice but to paint it up.
to make matters worst, less then a day later, the cabin windows were starting to cloud up too! after trying to fix it with clear, with no avail, i thought "f*ck it".
now, i wasnt ready to give up just yet, thought i could make it at least presentable when the coat of white paint was sprayed on, but event THAT didnt go without problems. after removing the 1.25mm tape, i found out that the paint managed to creep through! i didnt have the courage to remove the rest of the masking tape, i will try to fix this by going over it with a fine piantbrush, but if anymore problems like these show up, im throwing the whole build in the trash and give up.
the rest of the build will be hand painted.
