Philip Goldstein and his P-38 “Jewboy”

[Corsairfoxfouruncle]

        Hello Everyone … I present to you my P-38J in the markings of Philip Goldstein’s “Jewboy”. There are links in the build thread to more info on Lieut. Goldstein. Ive wanted to do this plane since I first saw a photo. I was able to secure a sheet of decals made by Kagero through another member. This is the 1/48 Academy kit and Ive done my best to re-create the plane. If you would be interested I have added a link to the build thread.

That's turned out beautifully, Dennis! I always forget how big a plane the P-38 is. Lovely NMF there.

Dennis That's superb! Nmf looks uncannily like the real thing. I will read up the story in your wip thread too. Andy

Thank you for providing the links to the story of this aircraft.  It was most interesting.  Your depiction of the aircraft is spot on.  The NMF is just flawless from the pictures.  You have done the plane and the man true justice and high tribute to them.  Thanks for sharing.

Thank you that means a lot, a good number of my builds are about a specific pilots.

Excellent P-38J!

I'm envious of your skills to produce such a fine model!

I'm also envious of such a tidy workbench!

Nicely done Dennis, I like the panel shade variation, it really lifts it.

Really lovely model but I think the final reveal photos deserve to be taken against a less cluttered backdrop.

Thank you, If it gets a bit more decent weather wise or If I can find an area indoors I will. Currently its winter so grey, cold & wet. As for indoors SWMBO has taken over almost all surfaces in the house for Chrimbo decorations.
