b737flyer Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) I recently completed the excellent 1/48 Tamiya P-38J as an ETO subject. It was painted with Tamiya and Mr. Color lacquers and weathered with oils and enamels. Decals came from Eduard's "P-38 Lightnings Over Europe" boxing of the old Academy kit. I used Eduard Brassin 1,000 lb bombs, Brassin 3D printed turbochargers, and resin cockpit/radio components from an Eduard set designed for the Academy kit.

MikeC Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 That's beautifully done, the metallic finish looks really good. What unit is it from? I'm thinking 9th AF, as I can't find it on the Little Friends site. b737flyer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
