Title: Two More WW2 Birds. Academy P-38J and Arma P-39Q. South Pacific
Post by: RAGIII on June 29, 2026, 10:52:43 AM

Two more OOB builds in 1/72nd scale. Bothe were painted with MRP paints with some Tamiya mixes for variation. Oils used for final weathering as usual.

Excellent builds, Rick - I'm very much enjoying your WW2 aircraft. The colour of these particular models lend well to the weathering touches you've added.
Cheers,
Gary

These two turned out really well, great building and finishing all round. I really like your approach to weathering, it's very effective.

What a beautiful pair of planes. As a kid I remember making a P38 and painting shark mouths on both engine nacelles. When finished I realised how incredibly stupid it looked.
