I have the P-3 Orion in my stash. Did one in my early college years after a visit to my aunt & uncle in Maryland. My uncle worked at Patuxent River Naval Air Station and took me out on the base. It was there I saw a squadron of Orions on the tarmac.

To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
Sounds like your bench is like my bench. Lots of little things taking over on my bench.
I remember long ago building an Airfix He-177 Griffin that was molded in that baby blue plastic now that you mention it…
