LSP_K2 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Thank you Kevin!! Have you started yours yet? Don Nope, I don't even have the kit yet. I anticipate getting mine (Hobbycraft boxing) around May or June, if all goes well. I do already have the Kagero decals for California Cutie though, thanks to one of the LSP guys here.

David Hansen Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I know i'm not the first to say, "Oooh-Ahh!", "Beautiful Build!", "Super Job!" etc., etc. but i think taking the time to fill all those rivets really paid off in the finished effort. The "suggestion" of rivets looks so much better than the model having an appearance of a 1960's era, carefully-machine-gunned toy. Really inspirational to look at. It photographs wonderfully. -d- dmthamade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did see that most all P-38s showed characteristic rivets in the same locations, these I replicated. Others were at first a disappointment but then I realized the pics also showed rivets in various places in random patterns, so I left them alone. Like you said, the suggestion of rivets looks much better than the way Trumpeter has them or of a 60's toy. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
