What a fun little build that must have been.

I enjoyed it. Just a quick one for relaxation. Now the tiny decals, that was another matter!

Looks really good. How did the I-94 decals work for you? I have some but have yet to use them.

Thank you. I recommend giving the I-94 Enterprises a clear coat prior to using. Nicely printed decals.

Thank you! The best P-38 in 1/144 is from F-Toys in Japan.

Wow! that is a big bottle of paint! Great job on such a small model.

Nice work. Tiny, certainly. What Revell stand is that? Looks like one that Monogram used to include with their 1/72 kits.

Impressive work. Only ever built one 1/144 airplane and it was way too small for me,

Thank you. Shelf limits over the years brought me to 1/144 kits.

Thank you. It’s from a Revell Germany 144 Me109 from that was released in the 90s.

Nice job. Many that’s some tiny scale for that bird. I do 1/144 airliners - would be cool to see your p-38 along side my airbus A380 :slight_smile:

Thank you. Remember seeing a 1/144 Japanese Val next to a 1/144 L-1011. It really showcased the size difference.
