CPNGROATS Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 Thought I would add a "forked tailed devil" to the D-Day G.B. This particular kit is a vintage Revell 1/72 issue. D-Day Cheers, ggc
AnonymousA667 Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 Hey, I've got one of those in the stash! Lots of stripes, wunnerful. peebeep
CPNGROATS Posted January 25, 2009 Author Posted January 25, 2009 So, fellow D-Day modelers 'er is the spru shots on the Revell 1/72 P-38J. Also shown is an Eduard fret of P-38 detail p/e...I'll be using the cockpit details certainly... D-Day Cheers, ggc
Stebos Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 The P-38 is one of my favs of all time. I was gutted when it failed to show at Duxford in 07 Looks to have some interesting interior detail in this one, will you be keeping the panels off?
CPNGROATS Posted January 26, 2009 Author Posted January 26, 2009 Some of the internal details showing might be interesting...I'll see how the construction goes... Dy-no-mite Cheers, ggc
darson Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 There's nothing wrong with those older Monogram kits especially when you spruce them up with a bit of PE or resin. I'll be looking forward to the updates as this one comes together. Cheers
timbo33 Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 ......Also shown is an Eduard fret of P-38 detail p/e...I'll be using the cockpit details certainly...D-Day Cheers, ggc I have enough trouble using PE in 1/48 - you deserve a medal !!!! Was planning to finish a Minicraft 1/48 P-38 for this GB so I might put that to the back of the queue - got plenty of other stuff LOL
CPNGROATS Posted January 27, 2009 Author Posted January 27, 2009 timbo: I'm thinking that there is room for more than one P-38 in this G.B. So, carry on with your P-38, if you have a mind to. It would be interesting to contrast/compare the two scales... Cheers, ggc
dahut Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 P-38 ahoy! I got the big brother to this one in 1/48 last week, again from the local charity shop. $2.14 USD all up! Love those Monogram deelites. Keep at it!
Brews Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 I have a Monogram 1:48 Lightning, but I've not seen this one before. It's a genuine Revell, right? The others I have that have engines in 1:72 include Ju 88, Ju 87 and He 219. I think there was a bit of theme, then, back in the old days If the fit is like the Ju 88 or He 219, then I wish you the best of luck.
CPNGROATS Posted February 21, 2009 Author Posted February 21, 2009 Brews: Yes, it's a genuine Revell kit. I think it's a later vintage tan the HE-219 and the Ju-88..both of those had lots of rivets. This P-38J has raised details but no rivets and hopefully a better fit... Cheers, ggc
