That's a fair size build even for 1/72 scale. Really glad to hear about the fact that there won't be just a whole lot of work to do in getting the wing/ fuselage seams taken care of. Lookin' good Mike.

I haven't built a large aircraft since kidhood.
This is fun to watch, it's looking good, and you are whetting my appetite to try one again someday.

Oh you need to fix that. There’s nothing quite like finishing that large build that takes two hands to hold, and takes up a large piece of display space

Unfortunately the prices for such kits are way out of proportion to what they once were. The old Monogram big bombers cost has soared for those still around.

Thanks everyone. I still have some work to do on the fuselage seams and the wings. I'm waiting for Caracal Decals to release his new P-3 Orion sheet.

Yes this is large but you need to see the Antonov that Duke just finished. That's BIG

I really wish Eduard would re-issue some of their older stuff. It's really hard to find mask and PE sets for this kit.

Been working on cleaning up the seams on the Orion. Not horrible but they needed to be cleaned up.

Thanks! I've got three engines done and I'm working on the fourth.
