elger Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 build thread here: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234944844-eduard-148-p-38h-skylark-iv-nuthamstead-1943/ Quite happy with how this one turned out actually. There's a few little mistakes: it's nearly impossible to cut the Academy clear pieces from the sprues without damaging them and me being somewhat clumsy damanged them quite a bit. Realized I also should have opened the top slot for the boarding ladder but oh well. Had very little difficulties with the Eduard Brassin parts - they fit perfectly. I did swap the Academy tails for the Hasegawa parts; Academy kit features the wrong kind of radiators. exhausts from Quickboost barrels also from Quickboost Thanks for looking!

Mark Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 For some reason you don't see many P-38s adorning these pages, but I'm glad you've posted yours, it really is a great piece of work you've completed. The cockpit and exhaust / turbochargers especially stand out for me. Yep, I like it a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
