Mike converted a Hasegawa 1/72 scale Lockheed SP2-H Neptune into a firebomber operated by Aero Union Corporation with a scratchbuilt retardant tank. Aero Union had the jets on the wings removed and painted over the plexiglass nose, according to Mike. He painted the model with Testors Model Master Model Master Chevrolet Engine Red and used Draw Decals markings for an Aero Union P-3 Orion tanker. “They are the perfect size for the Neptune,” he says.
