Modeling Subjects Aircraft

(hey gang, this was just posted in the group build section, please leave any comments on that thread to keep my life simple!!!)

OK, first my confession: I have never (NEVER) built a P-38 model. Over the past few years I have received 4 (count 'em: 4!) of Revell’s 1/48 P-38J as gifts from well-meaning relatives that just want to buy me something they don’t see on my shelf already. It’s obviously a sign, and now I’ve got to build at least one and display it prominently.

Who’s interested in joining a group build, hosted by a Lightning rookie? The official rules will be pretty slack, and a timeline will be settled on shortly. Please post in the group builds section when you get a chance.

I would say that Vanna has twin booms, but hopefully only one engine!

Kelly Johnson & the entire skunkworks team are now rolling over in their collective graves!

I’m already in the painting stage of my P-38. Am I still qualified?

The group build works because we get to share some tips & techniques along the whole build. Someone who has just starting fitting a few pieces etc. would be fine, but if you’re shaking the paint bottles, you’re too far in on this one, sorry.

Maybe we should look at an “honourary membership badge”!
