For my next build I will be doing another commission build. This will be a 1/72 Hasegawa P-2H Neptune (P2V-7) of VP-4. The P-2 was a Lockheed built Maritime Patrol and Anti-Submarine Warfare aircraft. This aircraft flew from 1947 until the late 1960’s for the US Navy and continued to fly until 1984 for other…

Description Pictured above is a highly modified Lockheed SP2H Neptune formerly operated by Aero Union. This particular version of the SP2H Neptune had it's jet engine pods removed and could haul 2,080 U.S. Gallons of fire retardant. Photo taker unknown. The Lockheed P-2 Neptune (designated P2V by the United States Navy prior to September 1962) was a Maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare (ASW) aircraft. It was developed for the US Navy by Lockheed to replace the Lockheed PV-1 Ventura and PV-2 Harpoon, and was replaced in turn by the Lockheed P-3 Orion. Designed as a land-based aircraft, the Neptune never made a carrier landing, although a small number of aircraft were converted and deployed as carrier-launched, stop-gap nuclear bombers which would have to ditch or recover at land bases. The type was successful in export and saw service with several armed forces. Civilian firefighting: P-2/P2Vs have been employed in aerial firefighting roles by operators such as Minden Air Corp (historic), Evergreen International Aviation (historic) and Neptune Aviation Services. The air tankers can carry 2,080 gal (7,874 l) of retardant and have a service life of 15,000 hours. Neptune has retired and replaced them with British Aerospace 146 aircraft which are estimated to have a service life of 80,000 hours and carry upwards of 3,000 gallons of retardant.
