chrish Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 That's the great thing about Canadian winters, well about the only good thing really...lots of time to stay indoors and build models Another donated kit, after seeing me finish the Hudson a friend figured I needed more experience to hopefully get this one right. I've got most of the big bits cut out and will maybe, start sanding off the excess sheet this week...or next. I've found a fairly good walkaround of a Australian Orion but as always could use more. If anybody can point in in a direction for information (panel lines, wheel wells interior structure etc. it would be greatly appreciated. She's a biggun...not an LSP but still a Lsp leaning against my X coffee cup stand now air tank stand Why do I do this crazy sh*t when the stash is loaded with state of the art new release high tech kits!? Oh well, such is my insanity. thanks for looking Alain Gadbois, Iain, A-10LOADER and 20 others 21 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Cool project, Chris! This should pair well with the 1/72 scale 3D-printed Electra project I hope to start some time this year. I'll be following your progress for sure! Kev chrish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Yep, that’s going to be huge… looks like there are RCAF options for the subject as well chrish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denders Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Hope these help with the panel lines. I'm not sure I have anything with someone's idea of rivet locations. chrish, Landrotten Highlander and blackbetty 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easixpedro Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I'm such a glutton for punishment, I'd attempt an EP-3 (have a lot of friends that flew her) Will be following for sure! A-10LOADER and chrish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, such is my insanity. thanks for looking What on Earth is that Windex bottle doing?! I can't make out the details, but it looks like compressed "something" is hooked from an LP gas tank to what I swear is a spray bottle with blue fluid in the bottom (Windex? Detergent?) and somehow connected to what looks like one of the old spray-can connectors Badger used to sell (the one with the thin black tube) . . .??? It's very intriguing!

Besides, that doesn't explain why it seems a propane tank is being used for spraying . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denders Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) I'm guessing that Chris is using that as an air tank and there is a compressor on the floor. It may be an "expired" tank and he put it to good use. A long time ago, I had a "portable" tank that I used to fill up with a small airbrush compressor. I managed to kill the little compressor, so I bought a larger compressor, sans tank to use for a while until I bought a pneumatic nailer 'kit' and used that compressor to supply the airbrush when I didn't need it for home improvement projects. The drawback with the individual compressors was that I had to watch the pressure gage and start the compressor back up because I didn't have a pressure switch attached to do that. Edit: I notice the upside-down blue cap which looks like the cap that used to come with Badger airbrushes for use on the 'canned air' to power them.

tomprobert Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I’m keen to see how this builds up. It’s a kit I’ve often thought about buying but haven’t got around to yet. There is a set of resin engines and props available for this kit which save a huge amount of work. The name of the producer I’m far from certain but Line Star models rings a bell. Maybe it’s of interest? chrish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark_C Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Lone Star Models, perhaps? Mike West is the owner. chrish and tomprobert 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiwiZac Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Excellent. I'm excited to follow along with this! The RNZAF retired its P-3 fleet in the last few weeks so I need my fix! chrish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
