The Lockheed Orion – another Bosworth scratchbuilt masterpiece
The Lockheed Orion, the Learjet of its day, is one of my favorites. Bill’s done it proud. 1/32 scratchbuilt vacuform.
As Bill says: “Six passengers flying faster than almost any military contemporary! And with the “seating arrangements”…all guilty of sexual harassment to fellow passengers! Well ahead of their time!

” Learjet of its day” 😀 😀 😀
It is a great handmade model. Scratchbuilds are awesome! I made a few as teenager, combination of balsa and plastic, with basic vacuformed canopies, but those were not as good as this. Great job!

Fantastic job Bill!

Outstanding again
