Had to order another set of props. The little tabs that go into the hub are really fragile and I've broken two. So I'll need spares.

Now that the Gundam is done and I got the decals for the P-3, I got back to work on the props. I did get another set of props in case I break some more.

Re: 1/72 Hasegawa P-3C Orion
I thought about that too but they're way too thin for it.

I fared in the MAD boom on the tail. I checked and saw that it was still a tail sitter. I had weight (liquid gravity) in the nose so I was able to pop the nose off and add some more. I think I've got it taken care of now.

Re: 1/72 Hasegawa P-3C Orion
That's a decent amount of weight Mike!

Yeah no kidding. It better work or I'll have to attach it to base.

Yup... when I built mine as a teen it was a tail sitter

Re: 1/72 Hasegawa P-3C Orion
The only Orion that I’ve ever built was the old Revell box scale kit. I don’t think that it even had landing gear….
