Natter Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 That's really nice - but P-38 main wheels face outboard of the undercarriage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeaton01 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Nicely painted and weathered. Along with the wheels, the propellers need to be swapped. They were like this on the prototype but caused vibration so the engines were swapped so the left prop turned counterclockwise when viewed from the rear, and right turned clockwise from the rear. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wheels and propellers are on the correct side, it's just the booms that need to be swapped!😏 Honestly John, I've made the same mistakes you have and I'm guessing we aren't the only ones. Nevertheless, you did a great job on the build and the weathering is really nicely done. Cheers, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbob Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 actually it looks like you've got blades going two different directions on each prop? The streaking (front to back) on the wing seems a little much to my taste, but otherwise I like the wear and tear you've done. Wheel wells look good, too. bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
