P-1 anybody ?

[Splitpin]

Has anyone spotted one of these for FSX ?



Maybe a bit early , but would make a welcome addition to my maritime fleet.

Don't think we even seen the P2J, look at that you see more Orion in it, they tested the idea with the Kawasaki C1 years back.

[Splitpin]

Yeah , it seems to be a mix of P-3 and A-320 (with extra engines) .... odd , but also nice.

Looks like a mini DC-8 in my view

Never thought of it that way Naki .... and your right.

UC from the C1/2 , wing box from same design and the nose from a K P3 ... maybe Japan could sell the type to us for P3 replacements and we could repaint it in old T.E.A.L colours just to keep the Korean squid boats unsure off its attentions.

The only things the P-1 has in common with the C-2 is the outer Wing Panels, Horizontal Stabilizer and cockpit windows, Internally the flight deck is similar and they share the same APU, External lights and gear control system. The fuse is a completely new design, and although similar, its not a P-3 nose.
Its roughly the same size as the P-8, though the fuse is a little chubbier

Good looking aircraft in my opinion ..... maybe the KBT boys will get onto it .

The PV2 Neptune was a fantastic looking aircraft, they did the same .. modified it so much it looked WELL ... .. you can see the P3C lineage here even as dramatic, never know maybe New Zealands RNZAF should really look at it , just for the hell off it.
