Great work, Toshi! I wish I did some cut-a-ways on some models. Would stop my nieces and nephews from asking me “Why do you paint that, no one can see it.”[:)]
First, that looks like a heck of a kit, Toshi. And second, you seem to have this one building up VERY well.
Lurking… 
^ I second this! 
Maybe I missed it but what did you use for your cuttings?
Thank you DasBeav. I’ve never done a cutaway before, this is my first. I just hope it comes out ok. Thanks for the visit!

This is one heck of a kit. I just love Trumpeter’s 1/32 kits. They are so detailed. As for building up very well, I’m just keeping up with you and other forum members!

To iampiper13,
I used a standard Revell hobby saw. As you can see there’s two sizes. Thanks for the visit!

Pre-Assembly of the radio compartment.

Both P-38 Booms and the cockpit/front landing gears.

I had to separate each radio/battery items and mark each one prior to painting and assembling after they dry.

You work faster then Detroit in 1942!
I like that IP. Will there be enough room in the pit with this kit? Lol
Most of the time I find that it’s easier to leave small parts on the tree for painting. I clean up any seam lines or flash and paint. Once the part is removed then a little dab of paint takes care of where the attaching point was.
Great looking IP.
LOL! Thanks for the visit!
Toshi
Thanks plasticjunkie! I normally do it that way but I wanted to show all the parts. Thanks for the visit!

Super work again, Toshi. I am happy to hear you plan to open her up so we can see those engines. They are Sweeeet! Love watching your builds, and you work so fast, I have to check every day, LOL. Thanks again for showing your work.
