Following on from my "Beautiful Lass" build, I've now finished "Babe", flown by Lt. Edgar L. Yarberry of 48th FS/14th FG from El Bathan, Tunisia in June 1943.
Once again this is the Airfix P-38F kit from 1972 with the Exito "Lightning Strike" decals. The decals are excellent and the kit is surprisingly good for a fifty-year-old mould. The major modification I made was to extend the front undercarriage leg by 4-5mm to get the stance right, otherwise there are a few tweaks here and there. WIP is here if you want a look.
So, with apologies to those of you who may have seen it in the KUTA gallery:
Getting the hang of this worn metal thing, drybrush with Revell acrylic Silver
And with "Beautiful Lass"
Thanks for looking,
Adrian
