Breguet-BAC Atlantic AEW.1

[McColm]

This is based on the P139-00-22 proposal from Brough's project office May/June  1971 using the AN/APS.120 radar (fitted to the Grumman E-2C Hawkeye).
  This will be my fifth attempt at building the 1/72  Revell Dassault Breguet Atlantic ATL1 kit. I have omitted the weapons bay for this build but kept the doors, other parts from the kit appear on the 1/72 Lockheed L-400 Sea Hercules MRA.1 project.

Just a few little changes to the instructions, no front observer seat, flight engineer gets a full chair, nose weight made up by loose change so no retractable radar and the rear end is missing the M.A.D. boom, I have used something from the Airfix Avro Shackleton MR.2 kit which looks similar to the line drawing of the Breguet Br.1150 Atlantic AEW concept.

I added a couple of studs to the wing joint before gluing these on, landing gear legs are in position. The engines well one side fitted well and the other didn't so a little bit of bodging will be needed from the exposed inside.
