Fuad Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 This is one of my favorite aircraft. Work completed in April of this year. There is a slight difference in labeling and color. But this is due to the fact that I used the old and damaged decals, so ruined that option, I wanted to build. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borgao Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Nice build...only one criticism,,,the main landing gear is in the wrong position,wheels should be facing outwards. regards FBorges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuad Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 the main landing gear is in the wrong position,wheels should be facing outwards. Thank you for your comment! This is sad mistake! Today I immediately change it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCinLA Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Nice work, but the squadron codes should read "H5-O" from left to right on both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuad Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) Nice work, but the squadron codes should read "H5-O" from left to right on both sides. There's not a number "0", but the letter "Q". And the code on decal is "QH5." At least as indicated on the decals scheme. Although, you are right that the designation should come as a P-38J 42-67449 H5-Q. Myself believe that this model is made only "based on". Because, as I pointed out earlier, I was going to do the other board but the decals were corrupted. Edited April 17, 2013 by Fuad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ c Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Once the wheels are done, it`ll be perfect, great job !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuad Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 As promised - I redid the wheel. But the onboard code, alas, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxim_G Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Nice build, Fuad! Lovely detailed gear wells and nice weathering. Also one of my favorite a/c! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depressed lemur Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 That looks absolutely stunning. How much weight did you have to squeeze in there to stop it sitting on its bottom? Also where did you find the room to fit it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuad Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 How much weight did you have to squeeze in there to stop it sitting on its bottom? Also where did you find the room to fit it? For load weight I use lead shot as usually in nose. How possible to thrust - so many treasures. Sometimes I put the shot even in engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
