Sending out tomorrow. Your build is coming along nicely. I built the Hasegawa plastic version 15 years ago. We also had the P-5 Marlin in our squadron which I also built. But so far no paper models of the P-5 although I tried generating some interest a number of years ago to no avail. I wish Hobby model had a repaint of the P2 color scheme I flew. Or anyone else for that matter. I flew in every P-2 with the RP designation on the tail except RP7 which crashed a month after I arrived at North Island. Interestingly my squadron had a P-3 detachment at Whidby Island. They had an RP7 as well and it too crashed but it took 15 guys along with it. The P2 lost no one ditching at sea. Quite a coinsidence would t you say? They never replaced that number. I have pictures of that somewhere
