This is the 1/48 Monogram Pro Modeler version of the P-38. I started this for the P-38 group build, but like so many other group builds, I manage to finish them just after the build ends. Oh well. The scheme is from Kagero and depicts the Nulli Secundus/X Virgin flown in the Pacific theater. Both the kit and the decals were a joy to work with. Now the kit decals that had to be used, they were a mess due to age and brittleness. Other than my own lack of modeling skills, this kit went together well and didn’t really have any faults. Me, I got faults. If you look closely at the pictures, you will see I had to use a stand to keep the tail from resting on the ground; just didn’t put enough ballast in the nose. Anyway, the WIP thread is here: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234983215-nulli-secundus-p-38/ if you are so inclined to see a half-baked attempt at producing a model. (It may just be me, but I am still intimidated by putting up kits because of the excellent quality of work on this site. It just humbles me.) Oh well, on to the pictures: Rats, I still forgot to fix that one gun out of alignment. Mental note 1 Of course after I take the pictures and am posting them online, I notice other things besides the gun being out of alignment. Like the balancers on the tail are missing. (Of course I knocked them off a couple of times and just put them aside for safe keeping.) And, I guess this guy didn’t like talking on the radio as he has no radio wires. Need to add that. And while I am at is, I really don’t like the joint of the front windshield. So maybe this isn’t a total RFI, but its close! As always, all comments are welcome.
