Lancman Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Just got this from Jadlam a 1/72 P8, I know wrong scale but a big plane from BPK. https://www.jadlamracingmodels.com/big-plane-kits-7222-p-8a-poseidon-raaf-1-72-plastic-model-kit/?utm_campaign=Models - BIG BOX (01HBGC5DNQW83GBAX0TZH9T50Q)&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Models ALL&_kx=8dqZKr52vdcLKI2qI2SQuu-eOkdzbql4ySo057graQT74txFFK9WAlbN96czUOOI.Wn7bvw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenshb Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Finished this kit a couple of months ago. It is indeed a big, scale plane rather than a big-scale plane:) The biggest let-down in my opinion is the decal sheet that is lacking a complete set of stencils (no intake warning chevrons for the inboard faces of the nacelles for example), and the walkways aren't right either. Got a set of custom printed decals from Vingtor Decals for "Vingtor". The plastic requires a bit of trimming and lots of dryfitting, and adding some missing aerials. Engines are early configuration, so the hot exhaust needs modifications if your particular airframe has the Performance Improvement Package engines. Still, the end result is quite rewarding.

Dennis7423 Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 There's some cool aftermarket available for this kit, too, including a full bomb bay. Pretty neat aircraft, and another in a line of military conversions to civilian airliners. - Dennis S. Mount Juliet, TN USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
