Achtung ! GABELSCHWANTZTEUFEL P-38J Major Bong

[Omak]

Hi all.

 

here is my last work . The famous " Marge " P38-J from Richard Bong. I choose to build an operational plane, instead of the real plane of the museum.

 

i had this kit in my stash with the peddinghaus decals , before Tamiya released his P-38J; so i've decided to buy the Tamiya for another purpose...

 

I've been using some decals from Tamiya, Peddinghaus and the generic set of Eduard stencils for P-38. Each of decals were excellent quality.

 

A big Ed to improve the kit, full riveting. A lot of work to get a good fit and here is the result. i'm pretty happy of her :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and just for fun : the fork tail devil...
