LSP_K2 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Great. I think it's a pretty cool old kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 I'm having a lot of fun with this build. All these years of building and I've never once built a P-38. I've had this old Revell kit in the stash since the 80's. I bought it new, the instruction sheet is all yellowed and brittle it's so old now. The fit is so far is surprisingly good. I've finished the cockpit last night, it's totally factitious using odd bits from the spares box. It will look the part under a closed canopy.

Guest Peterpools Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Ron Nice progress on the front office .. and I'm with you - it's all about fun and enjoyment Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 This builds quick. I am not going into a lot of detail as this will be a ceiling hanger when done. There is a lot of lead in this sled though. Lots of sanding to do yet. I had to replace the wheels with Aires ones. The kit ones are really really bad. Cheers.

LSP_Kevin Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Looking good, Ron! Maybe I should try this approach with some of my old Revell kits. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ron Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Thanks, Yes you should Kev, it's actually quite refreshing. The kit isn't nearly as bad as one would think. Once I got past the silly thought of rescribing the whole thing it turned into a lot of fun. I forgot to put some card in the boom intakes though. You can see right through them which doesn't look right Oh well Lee White and Bill_S 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hi Ron Looking mighty good for sure. seems as if you found the key to building and enjoying the older kits without facing the daunting adventure of scribing and riveting the entire aircraft., Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
