Dmitry Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Hi Friends! Simplified Lightning Kit I have added an extensive list of improvements Painted Gunze I wanted the best, it turned out as always Enjoy watching! 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Very elegant and impressively detailed Fork Tailed Devil! One minor point: the rudder hinge shouldn't "cut off" the rudder balances – they belong to the movable surface… Very neat and ambitious modelling. Kind regards, Joachim 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookenbacher Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Wonderful build of the Hobbyboss kit, and an excellent metal finish! "Itsy Bitsy II" was flown by George Laven, and a member here, @TheRealMrEd, has done an entire collection of his aircraft if you're interested: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson Duvalier Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 It's surprising we don't see more of these built up. Relative to the Academy P-38J they are available, affordable, and buildable, even if Hobby Boss forgot the supercharger intakes. I see you've addressed that issue, did you raid the spares box or fabricate them somehow? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The air intakes were molded by myself from epoxy plastic. Like all other improvements, I made from scrap materials, in the old fashioned way 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
