Lockheed P2 Neptune

By special request, I'm starting on a Lockheed P2 Neptune.

If any of the great photo scroungers on here would like to assist; I could use pictures that primarily detail the pods, cockpit, and gear. The ones I have show very little detail in these areas.

Thanks,
Doug

Probably the best side for photo - walkarounds for aircrafts:

www.primeportal.net

Found multiple versions of the neptune with many pictures:

Templates scaled and aligned to start modeling.

My plan for this aircraft is for it to have an 8' wingspan, weigh about 16#, and be powered by two Saito .72s and two additional thrusters (size yet to be determined) to simulate the jet engines. This is because RF does not allow both reciprocating and turbine engines on the same model.

That's great guys. Between Max and Heliman, I think I've got all I need. I especially like the one with the pink glow in the observation pod.
