Hi All
Just put the finishing touches to this one, Academy's P38J Lightning. Excellent kit in its self and used the Eduard Big Sin etch set (excellent), Master metal barrels (excellent) and Blue Riders Decal (not excellent), done as a Chinese Nationalist aircraft. This was 95% done ages ago but didn't fit the gear door or canopy so these were fitted this week. As stated the Academy P38 is an excellent kit and went together pretty well, the join between tail booms and wings was a little tricky to get right but not impossible to get right. The Big Sin Set was the nicest etch from Eduard yet used and improved the cockpit, wheel bays and vents. The Blue Rider decals were a pain and would not settle and the first few placed would not adhere to the paint so I won't use those again. Paint is all Tamiya acylics, silver pencil for chipping and a black oil wash to finish.
