Clifford Keesler Someone likes P-3's.
16. March at 02:16:47
Michael Hickey Nice Orion's , one day we might see a 1/48 main stream kit.
16. March at 03:17:55
Clifford Keesler Can you even get the 1/72 scale one anymore?
16. March at 18:34:19
Clifford Keesler My wife was in P-3's when she was in the Navy.
16. March at 18:35:39
Thomas Bischoff nice collection!
16. March at 21:34:34
James C Nice work on those Orion's.
16. March at 21:37:21
Ray Seppala Thanks guys, yes the 1/72 Hasegawa kit is still readily available and been reissued recently in JMSDF markings. I have another 2 no RAAF P-3s built with an Argentinian and P-7 conversion in various stages of work at the moment. Then there is the other 5 that are unstarted :)
16. March at 22:12:10
Clifford Keesler Wow!.
18. March at 16:54:40
Łukasz Gliński What a collection, wow!
18. March at 20:00:33
wilky Gonna miss the old Orion.
I lived in Adelaide and was in the Air Training Corp in the eighties and was able to inspect the inside of the P-3B shortly before they retired.
Would have loved to see inside a C but we weren't given that opportunity
19. March at 09:26:53
Bryn Crandell Very nice. I have one of those in my meager stash. ;)

Ray Seppala Thanks, Dutch. The Hamilton Hobbies set is a good starting point. I decided to copy the parts and make them from styrene, the P band base plate (triangular shape) was not the right shape so I made a new one with some diagrams I have. The other antennas were very simple to make and attach well to the fuselage with plastic cement giving a better bond than gluing resin with CA.
20. April 2018 at 09:04:06
Dutch Very nice colour scheme, too!
20. April 2018 at 09:49:58
Ray Seppala And finished!

25. April 2018 at 12:43:44
Dutch Love the Harpoons! Granted, 90% of the time you see P-3s without any external ordnance, but I like mine with a little flavor. Well done, Ray!

17. March 2014 at 12:33:44
ahmad hekmati Nice
4. November 2014 at 19:35:57
Dutch No 1 or No 6 Sqn markings? Is that 1:48 F-18 u/c? Seems that an SR(M) with such beefed up u/s should have a Pave Tack pod and PGMs rather than AAMs. Certainly a couple of AAMs is appropriate, but do you have any "real" ordnance planned?

So far, my only planned "Whiffie" is an old FROG 1/72 AVRO Shackleton MR.3. Kit decals are garbage, so it's going to be either Aussie or Kiwi. Or possibly Canadian, if I can find enough lightning bolt stripe.
22. February 2016 at 12:35:45
Ray Seppala Dutch, I was thinking this would be a 10 or 11SQN machine optimised for Maritime Strike, so it would carry, Harpoon, navalised version of SLAM-ER and mines. The u/c is from the kit with some mods modeled on the BAC Jaguar config. I really need to get back to this one I think :D
29. February 2016 at 03:19:31
Dutch Hmm.. Assuming the TSR-2s were bought new, that would be quite a switch from P2V-7s to TSR-2s for Nos 10 & 11 Sqn. Carry on!
29. February 2016 at 17:39:48

14. October 2017 at 18:49:32
Łukasz Gliński Incredible project! As Dutch mentioned earlier on - unbelievable amounts of bravery and perseverance can be spotted here. Will watch with huge interest
14. October 2017 at 20:16:56
Ray Seppala Thanks all, yes @Burkhard D, you see correctly. The 1/144 kit has been used as a reference from some corrections.
14. October 2017 at 21:17:48
Dutch Yes, I see the cargo triumvirate in Photo 59!
15. October 2017 at 02:07:12
Dutch Ray, quick question. How did you stretch (brand used) the C-130H/J-30 / L-100-30on the left in photo #59? I plan on a KC-130T-30 in USMC marks and plan on using the old Airmodel vacuformed stretch conversion. I would be interested in your comments. R/ Dutch
12. February at 15:24:26
Dave Flitton So....where is the C-5?
12. February at 21:15:05
Ray Seppala @ Dave Fllitton, I have a 1/144 C-5, that will do for me! @ Dutch sorry about the REALLY late responce, the C-130-30 is an AMT AC-130H that I am butcering back to a C-130J-30. The extensions are polystyrene plugs made by a gent in Sydney under the 'Hoot Owl' branding. He mainly makes these conversion parts for himself but knocked up a few sets when I asked about them.
12. February at 23:02:39
Dutch The ESCI/ERTL/AMT 1/72 C-130 is my least favorite Herk kit. Shapes are just wrong! But, in the hands of a master such as yourself, I am sure the results will be outstanding! My only concerns about using the old Airmodel plastic are two: the brittleness of the old plastic and the thickness (or thinness) compared to the thickness of the kit parts. It will require much internal bracing / reinforcing.

Ray Seppala On the rather large shelf of doom at the moment. 3 P-3s and and P-8 are taking up my time at the moment.
