As a reminder: Aires cockpit, Brassin wheels, Alclad/AK paint... just Pin-up and stencils in decals, the rest in paint. Thank you in advance for your feedback , as usual the other photos on my FB page below...

Tomcat101 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Beautiful P-38. I really like the weathering around the exhausts on the twin booms. Very realistic effect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autle Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Outstanding work, somehow you've made it look as good as the Tamiya version. The paintwork in particular is stunning, perfectly weathered in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattH912 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 amazing build. May I ask if you used AK Xtreme metals, if so did you gloss coat before and after applying the decals and did you finish the build in a flat or gloss or even semi gloss coat, such as Mr color GX100 etc? Many thanks in advance as I'm new to using metallic paints so could use some advice from someone with more Experience. Again lovely build 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again lovely build I applied a coat of glossy black acrylic before the aluminum paint. on the other hand, no varnish afterwards, otherwise you will lose the shine of the paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
