Today I'm working on the fuselage starting at the rear and the underside where the sonobouy launchers are.

Orion looks great! The tedious seam work will always pay off at the end.

Thanks! These aren't the worst seams I've had to deal with so it's not that bad.

I've added the front windscreen to the Orion. I'll have to do just a tiny bit of blending in but that's easy.

And voila, adding the front windscreen changed the look dramatically!

Starts to look very much like an Orion !

Looking forward to next update!

Got caught up on this build. It's looking really good
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall
