Great job on your P-3 Aggieman, nice to see it finished!
These kits go together with little fuss. Later boxings have more flash theses days (but not very much compared to others I have built).
I have built a few now, in this shot are an NP-3D, P-3A, 3 P-3Bs and an AP-3C. I have also built another AP-3C (not shown) which is at my son’s place (he works on them).
We also have a ring in P-3 replacement as well 
Turned out great!
P3C had 48 externally loaded tubes + 3 pressurized tubes (loaded from inside the aircraft) + 1 unpressurized free fall chute = 54 “holes” in the fuselage. Fun fact: the unpressurized free fall chute functioned as a vacuum cleaner–hook up a vacuum hose and you could vacuum out the cabin. Fun fact #2 – the same vacuum function was helpful for “burial at sea” ceremonies for those who chose cremation, ashes were sucked out and spread over the ocean.
My background: Naval Flight Officer with time in P3C Update II.5; P3B Mod and Canadian CP-140 Aurora
I am thinking about building this model.
