      I flew as an observer in VP-40 from '72-'75. We were the first to pick up Russian communication from their nuclear sub in the Indian Ocean, during the Vietnam war. Had a crazy pilot that took us weightless in one. It was Awesome, for about 8 seconds! Great memories in that Squadron.

Although her wing is transitioning to the P-8A, they are still keeping 2 of our AP-3Cs around, that where modified by the RAAF for ELINT. She thinks shes got the best job in the world. she says its better than being on a P-8

This was the first P-3 variant to have a fully digitized sensor suite called SASP instead of the analog AQA-7 that work so well in earlier models.

    Nice work! I spent three years with VP-48. I built one of these with custom decals from my squadron for myself. VP-40 was one of our sister squadrons. A few details. Only three of the engines had alternators. I think number one was the lone hold out. Number one always burned cleaner than the other three. We ALWAYS dressed our props. Which means they were almost always a straight cross. Sometimes an X but always the same across the wing. You did a nice job on the engine wash and the APU exhaust. Those areas were always a bit dirty, even after a good bath. The lead edge was actually gray, covered with a clear self adhesive tape about a foot wide. This clear cover yellowed very quickly and made the lead edge look yellow. I painted mine with a very light coat of yellow to simulate this effect. The walk ways on the wings were non-skid black. I taped mine and shot them with flat black. P-3Cs of my era were Light Gray Gloss and Gloss White. It was a very glossy paint and tended to be very shiny. Our aircraft had very few if any bare spots. These were squawked by aircrew or maintenance crew during daily inspections. They were sanded and repainted with in a day or so. I made three deployments with my squadron. It was a great time. Better upon reflection. One last note. Naval squadrons had a big inspection every year or every other year (I have forgotten the frequency, but not the pain). Called the "Corrosion Inspection". The squadron prepped like their mother-in-law was coming to stay a week. Everything was cleaned, painted, filed and proof read. Everyone was on edge. To fail was unthinkable. The pressure was extreme. Those same emotions and drive came bubbling up as I built my P-3C. I could hear my skipped say: "Make her shine like a baby's butt!" I spent more time on that model than any before or since.

When we went out prior to deploying, we would have orange training torpedoes shot against us. They had no warhead, only fuel and guidance. They only had about 10 minutes of fuel on board. They were orange for two reasons: 1. So we would know they they weren't war shots and 2. To make them visible to the torpedo retrieval boats. The 46's were probably also colored according to their purpose.

    It really pisses me off when a model company can design a really nice kit, then not even give correct weight for nose weight. Hasegawa has a reputation of making nice kits, but this kind of gross error makes one wonder what other mistakes they made. The only thing worse is when a company omits the info completely. It must be some national secret or something. You, sir, did a really nice job on this kit. Too bad Hasegawa didn't uphold their end of the bargain.
