Good choice Les. I am curious how it will build. I have got a earlier version. That will go in 8th AF colours as well.

I will watch this one.

Cheers,

Took some holding together and had to take some out of the top of the nose to get the instrument panel in


Cheers Les

it's coming along nicely I see, am jealous as I can't start mine until next week! Plus I have the Viper to finish for the SciFi GB as well!

they're some heavy duty pegs you got there!

I had a close look at the gun pack photo, you and Arnold are right, it does look a bit odd.

the gun pack is too big l tried rubbing down the doors but the ammo hangs out over the side

That is some great progress. mine have stalled at the moment. I am bussy with my Dewoitine D.520 for the French GB.

I also notised that the cockpit from the F/G/H and J version looks the same. I also have the walk around book from Squadron. When I take a look at it then the radio compartment from the kit doesn't look like anything that is in the book. I will stick with it, because I have to. I don't know if there is a Aires set for the Hasegawa P-38?! I wanted to use the set for a Academy one, but that is to fiddely to use.

That is looking good Les.

Take care when you place the turbo plates. Mine are sticking a little bit out and need to have some sanding.

Cheers,
