Lockheed L-188 Electra

Gary,

Bruno has done several Electras, all Braniffs in 1/300 scale.

Herky,

The P-3 Orion is definitely based on the Electra. I see one from time to time flying in and out of the Asheville airport.

Any chance the Coast Guard used the Orion?

Look what I found down at Pima.

They never served in the Coast Guard, but somebody out there has an active imagination:

Like Sir Gary Papersworth says, after a couple hours doodling.

Nope. Looks like the Coast Guard went for the C-130 instead.

Ah ha, I forgot about those 1/200 or 1/300, whichever, Electras. Thank you. Maybe because there so small and I can't see them. I did go and download one. If I put my binocular glasses on maybe I'll try it. This getting old stuff sucks.

Looking forward to this one for repaints also.
