Finished this earlier last week – was made for a friend from church whose uncle was lost over Guadalcanal flying one of these. Was among the best engineered kits I have ever encountered – maybe only second to some Bandai Star Wars.
I will admit that my weathering technique is most “just dirty & scuff it up randomly” rather than anything carefully considered.
1/32nd scale? Looks great and it is on my build list.
1/48 scale. A great kit
Great job. Your weathering/wear n tear looks really good. I’m hoping my P-38 build looks as good.
Your build looks really good. I’m building that same kit now. Adding the Black Dog engine and open gun bay to it for a planed maintenance diorama. Wonderful kit. Agree that the engineering of this kit is fantastic -almost snaps together.
Outstanding job. I’ve heard nothing but positive comments about this kit. Congratulations!!
Nice looking P-38! I need to fork over the dough for one of these at some point!
Fantastic looking “Fork-tailed Devil” larskeme! The P-38 has always been my favorite WWII plane. I really like them in the OD/grey scheme. I’ve got to get both of these Tamiya kits soon. Very nice of you to build it for your friend whose uncle flew the P-38.
