The P-38 I’m referring to is the 1/48 E. I had to fill almost every joint. Not my favorite thing to do.

It may be a great kit, but it still takes some skill to make it look that good. Great work!! Thanks for the pics.

27

Umm…yes. Yes sir- I do like it! I commend you on your choice of aircraft!

28

Am I mistaken, or is AM coming out with a Vindicator?

Dragonfly,

That is a gorgeous Dauntless ! I love the weathering you’ve done on it.

Yes, I heard that AM has come out with a Vindicator - or they were taking pre-orders for it. It’s either out - or due out soon.

Simply stunning work, dragonfly!

EXCELLENT bird, Beautiful build. Yes I see AM might even have two version of the old Vin.
Also the TBM your doing if it’s the one in the all white box, with no box art, dont use their decals. There thick, they have too much over hang on the clear edge, and some spots on the sheet have a coating that the water cant soak through with out sanding the decal[:(!][:(!][:(!]. But the TBM it’s self is a great kit, I’m sure you already know that.

I can’t wait to see your next builds, thanks for the show.
