About the Lockheed P-3C Orion
The Lockheed P-3C Orion is one of the most successful maritime patrol aircraft ever built, serving with the U.S. Navy and numerous allied nations for over five decades. Developed from the Lockheed Electra airliner, the P-3C features advanced sensors, radar systems, and weapons capabilities for anti-submarine warfare, maritime surveillance, and search-and-rescue missions. Powered by four Allison T56 turboprop engines, the Orion can patrol vast ocean areas for extended periods, detecting and tracking submarines with its sophisticated acoustic and magnetic detection systems. The P-3C's distinctive profile and long service record make it a favorite subject for maritime patrol aircraft enthusiasts and Cold War aviation modelers.
What's Included
Eduard's CX series masks are precision-cut from thin, flexible vinyl that conforms perfectly to complex canopy curves and wheel hubs. The set typically includes canopy frame masks for both interior and exterior surfaces, wheel hub masks, and any additional glazed areas. The self-adhesive backing ensures secure placement without residue, while the material's flexibility allows it to follow compound curves without lifting or leaking paint.
