Very nice done Orions Jonathan!

I have a 1/72 Orion that I will be doing sometime with VP-44 Markings I made.... They seemed to follow me to every NAS I was at in the late 70's early 80's.......

Thanks for the kind comments guys. Im going to build four or five more Orions eventually for a Pacific coalition meet.

Just a few weeks left in February, including three saturdays. I fully expect to see several more builds appear at the end. We really need at least one Boomerang.

hey, Shorty, remember to put some pics of the Kanga in the Gallery.

Well after taking ages to find the IP, it took nearly as long to paint it.

Cheers Rob.

That sure is a busy cockpit. I imagine that model will have a nice big clear canopy so all that work can be admired.

Thanks Jonathan
It came out pretty good considering it's just the kit parts.

Cheers Rob.

I did not get any further than the top camouflage I really thought I would get this done in time.

Cheers Rob.

Well, ribbons have been distributed and congrats to all who finished! To those who didn't, I hope you do get a chance to complete what look to be fine in-process models!

If you didn't get a ribbon and think you should have, feel free to drop me a PM and we'll see what's up.
