Vinnie Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I wanted an easy build and this looked just the job. It did indeed go together well although it is a tail sitter. Even with the recommended six grams in each nacelle mine tips up. Maybe my kitchen scales are wrong. Wish I'd realised earlier as there would have been room in the nose for more. Also, according to a couple of reviews I read, the kit is missing air scoops on the outer booms. I added these from the spares box. Finished with the box decals and Revell Aqua. 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thud4444 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I got one of these for Christmas. I'm glad to see it builds up pretty well. Nice model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your comment Thud. It does make up nicely, but when you get round to building it, remember to put extra ballast in the nose before you close it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Neat P-38. It certainly looks the part in that scheme. What did you use for the NMF? Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only used Revell Aqua on this. The exterior is silver, aluminium and olive. 16 hours ago, glatisant said: Excellent build. Very neat finish. Thank you for your kind words, Glatisant.
