CedB Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 After the long and protracted Nimrod build I need something easy to boost my 2019 build count and give me a bit of a break so, as usual, I've chosen a Hobby Boss 'easy assembly' from the stash: on Flickr As usual the sprues have a nice level of detail but there aren't many of them: No worries about getting the booms straight (hooray!). I bet these doors won't close up: Nice clear parts: Ooh, prop bushes. Two nice schemes: I think I'll do 'Bowlegs' - a bit more colourful. 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Dapple Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Looks nice Ced, got a cockpit and everything What's the bit of protective foam covering on the biggest sprue? Cheers, Stew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 Hi Stew and welcome Just for you, a reveal: Hmmm. Not sure why that deserves extra protection. I'll probably break them getting them off the gates now… 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob85 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 A fine choice Ced! I have a lot of love for the p-38 and it will be nice to see how this goes together.
