Beautiful plane. My uncle flew P3s back in the day and had some great models. Here is a link to video soneone shot after building a model of this one:
Well, shhot. My link took width into stratosphere.
“My uncle flew P3s back in the day”
Me too. Do you know what squadrons he was in?
P-3s were Lockheed Electras with turboprop engines. A postwar design.
C-54s were Douglas DC-4s with piston engines. They evolved post war to the DC-6, and culminated in the DC-7 which competed with the trouble plagued Electra but was limited by its Piston engines.
