In just four weeks the Hasegawa 1/72 P-3C Orion of VP-8 “Flying Tigers” is now finished. After many tedious hours of working with getting the decals applied I was able to add the final touches to the aircraft and paint the display base to match the tarmac of NAS Brunswick during the early 1980’s. This project is scheduled to be delivered to the client next week. I hope you have enjoyed this build and thanks for following along. Happy modeling!

NEXT UP
The second commission build is the Academy 1/72 A-10A from “Operation Iraqi Freedom” I will be using the kit decals for the aircraft from the 75th Fighter Squadron of the 23rd wing. This will also be mounted in a display case. It will be mostly “out of the box” build with the exception of using Master Model’s brass gun barrels and pitot tube. Stay tuned for another interesting commission build.
