Got the Tamiya 1/48 P-38G Lightning finished. This was the absolute best kit that I have ever built everything fit so well, was well thought out and engineered.
Extras I used in this build:
Eduard:
spACE 3d decals
Marking decals
Master:
Brass gun barrels
HGW:
Cloth seat belts
the Stl files for the Marston Mats

Thanks for looking in!

My goodness, that is a beauty!

I've heard nothing but good things about this kit since its release and this completion as well as your comments on the construction add to the pile. Just an all around great build here with plenty of attention to detail and great painting/ weathering. This one turned out a true gem Clint.

Thank you all so much! I can't praise this kit enough it's perfect

Beautiful Lass turned out beautifully! Very sharp looking finish! The war weary look and the airfield base combine to make this one look just right.

Thank you! I didn't like how the chipping turned out but I was afraid of losing the rest of the paint job by trying to redo itkeavdog wrote:Fantastic! I really like your tonal variation. Great job.
