Hello guys !! well I must say that at this point I'm at 99% completion ;D.
I managed to put some damage to all the decals.... shame... i was going to go for a nice shinny un-damaged finish but... that's the type of thing you end up doing when you hurry up things.....
So it's been a fun model to build and i managed to learn a lot of things, lots of the tips i found here at the forums where really useful,

As far as the model I only have to glue the canopy and put a coat of flat varnish? (is that correct)
I'll post a pict, and you can tell me what you think

hope you guys like it, have fun !!

I like that you're showing the open weapons bay. That was one of the details that I really liked about this kit, when I built it as a kid. Looking forward to more of your progress!

Every kit is a learning experience, Yours looks great.
Cheers!

Well Osquitz I am now going back to my local hobby shop Monday evening and buying that P-38 they had in stock. I told my wife I wouldn't spend anymore money this week on models, but after looking at your build I have no choice. I just want you to know I am blaming it all on you! ;D

Looks great! Keep up the good work!

Hey Osquitz, any updates or pix?

 

[Osquitz]

Hey guys !! sorry about the absence in posting, I think I really am a bit afraid to show this to the scalemodel community especially after seeing the level of all of you in here
anyways here it goes, the P38 is finished, shame I managed to destroy a couple of the decals (rushing without need).
hope you guys like it, all comments, critics, tips and pretty much everything you want to say will be listened to that's the only way to improve for me

ps... sorry if the pics are a bit blurry... i guess i don't have a steady hand to take them.. for the next one ill be sure to get a tripod... or a better camera lol

have fun !!
