Lockheed Orion AEW 1

(1/4) > >>

Whitta:
One of the proposals for Airborne Early Warning offered up to the RAF came from Lockheed. A combination of Hawkeye radars and P3 airframe would have made possible a quick entry into service. I used a Hasegawa P-3/CP-140 kit, and a Fujimi Hawkeye radome. Serials and markings by Xtradecal sheets. ZA423 came from a blackout batch for Harriers.
Unfortunately, due to a flying book accident, I no longer have this build. :(

Kerick:
Great looking aircraft!
Didn’t DEA or some other agency have something like this?

Whitta:
Hi Kerick,
You’re right. The DEA does have a similar Orion, on which I based this Whiff. I plan on re - doing this aircraft, as I really liked the look of it.

Kerick:
Here’s one from Dept of Customs and Border Protection.
