1/115 4428 Revell Lockheed P-3 Orion - Road Runner US Naval Oceanographic Office Or US Navy VP-64

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Sealed Exc+

Still factory sealed. Rare 1984 issue that comes with USNOO decals for Project Magnet as well as ASW Patrol Squadron VP-64. After the failure of the civil Lockheed Electra, Revell had to remove the molds from the market. Lockheed solved the problems with the Electra, but it was too late for the air lines. However, relief came to Lockheed in the form of numerous US Navy and international orders for a military Electra variant, the superb P-3 Anti-Submarine aircraft. And so relief came to Revell in the same way. They heavily modified the Electra molds to make the P-3 and this was a best seller for decades; and the P-3 was probably the most successful and long-lived of all US Navy ASW airborne platforms. Please see the article (located on this website) about Revell's mold modification.
