LSP_K2 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 One of three (actually four), models that I’ll be trying to complete by September 2020, the big ol’ Hobby Craft (Trumpeter) P-38 Lightning. I’ll be dumping a little bit of everything in the way of AM into this model; Eduard, Master Model, Contact Résine, Mastercasters, etc. Below is the obligatory box shot. jimbo, Trak-Tor, coogrfan and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 This is as much as I’ve managed to accomplish so far, and until my shoulder fully heals, I’m afraid it will continue to be slow going.

LSP_K2 Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 This is the scheme, and I already have the decals for it, from this Kagero Lightning at War book. In addition to quite a lot of Lightning references, I've also downloaded a fair amount of photos of NG/OD Lightning models, to use what I do and do not like about them, to assist with my own effort here.

They put me in a semi-fixed/rigid shoulder restraint, which I continue to wear, but I can still free my forearm (in fact I need to regularly, in order to exercise the elbow), so I can hold things with my left hand and do the rest, sanding and such, with my right, within limits. What's wrong with your eye? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Awhile back I posted about popping a capillary in my right eye which lets blood leak into the eyeball and makes a nice swirling mess and wrecks your depth perception. It does dissipate over time and mine was about 90% clear until 2 days before my first checkup when I popped another one. This one's worse than the first so they're going to do an operation called a visectomy. They suck the liquid out of the eye and replace it at the same time until it's clear enough to see my retina clearly. Then they weld up the popped veins and any others that look suspicious. I should have normal vision about a week after that barring any complications. Does sound scary Good luck with your shoulder Kev.

Lothar Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I'll keep my fingers crossed for a speedy and fully recovery of the eye. Lothar LSP_K2 and MikeMaben 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you get them to check the spelling at least twice otherwise there may be unintended consequences. Best wishes to both of you, for a successful eye op (and not a snip) and for rapid shoulder healing. MikeMaben and Troy Molitor 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with it, Mike, I'm sure it'll be OK. The same thing used to happen to my ******* boss from time to time. 6 hours ago, DonH said: Make sure you get them to check the spelling at least twice otherwise there may be unintended consequences.
