1/72 Hasegawa P-2H Neptune of VP-4

This is a 1/72 Hasegawa P-2H Neptune (P2V-7) of VP-4. The P-2 was a Lockheed built Maritime Patrol and Anti-Submarine Warfare aircraft. This aircraft flew from 1947 until the late 1960’s for the US Navy and continued to fly until 1984 for other countries. The client is having this built to match his Father’s aircraft. I made all the specific decals and weathered it to match actual photos. I also scratch built many additional details

You can see the entire build from start to finish in the build log section : 1/72 P-2H Neptune P2V-7

Update – Just letting all know that the Aircraft was packed up with a brass nameplate and shipped to the client. It arrived without any issues. I also recommended to use one of Grandpa’s Cabinets Display Cases. The aircraft will be presented to his Father on Father’s Day.
