I tried and failed to build a maritime patrol version of the Boeing E-3 Sentry, so I'm going to use the Heller 1/72 Boeing 707 model kit instead as the base and add a weapons bay plus a smaller bay towards the rear.
Rather than create my own weapons bay I will use the one from the Revell Breguet-Dassault Br.1150 Atlantic. This fits inside the 1/72 Lockheed P-3C Orion so it shouldn't be a problem.

There was a proposal for a Boeing CP-137 anti-submarine warfare to replace the aging aircraft for Canada and Australia known as the CC-137 Husky which lost out to the Lockheed CP-140 Aurora.

The idea for a triple engine version was considered not only for ASW but electronic surveillance by the USAF so a twin-engine won't look out of place.
No, just seen pictures of the EL/M-2075 Phalcon and I think that I have the necessary parts to create my own version.
