I too got the Trumpeter P-38 somewhere in the stash, but with the Grey Matter early conversion set. Cheers: Kent Me too, and another kit to use it on. P-38s are my faves, so it's the only plane I own multiples of. I am slightly considering building the GMF one at the same time to see how they differ, but that might be too much for me. I have an L model in progress (for about 5 years now!) and an old Revell kit started as another conversion, so hopefully I can get a couple done this year. 31 minutes ago, alain11 said: the sexiest P 38 version .....any idea about the paint scheme ???????? Alain I haven't decided yet, but I'm shooting for an H model. I have the Zotz decals for McGuire's early plane, but it's been done, so I'm leaning toward something more obscure. Maybe this one, or one like it: Alain Gadbois, Out2gtcha, kkarlsen and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alain11 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I think that she earns a sexier paint scheme ( my humble opinion ) .what about a nice nose art ????? ........it's a matter of taste ...of course Alain BiggTim and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggTim Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 I hear you, I just can't decide which one. I want something unique, not something I've seen a bunch of times, but there aren't a ton of 1/32 decals to choose from, so they've all been used to death.

alain11 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I was in the same feeling ,I've done a while ago a unique H ( okay the decals are available now but.. ) , , she was my " little .....pride)... If you can , take a look at the Kagero top color 10...... BiggTim and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I've been wishing for a shark jaw Flying Dutchman or the Sandman Martinnfb and BiggTim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggTim Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 I considered Japanese Sandman II, as I've never seen those decals in 1/32, but that's also the problem - I'd have to make them, or have them made. I'm assuming they have not been done already, correct? Martinnfb, Vandy 1 VX 4 and Out2gtcha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little easier to do except for the turbo placed intake.

jimbo Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) Nice Tim, any idea what scheme you’ll do? NMF or OD? I love the sleekness of the early intakes, sure clean. Edit: check that, I neglected to turn the page lol! Jimbo Edited January 25, 2019 by jimbo Martinnfb and BiggTim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
