This ones really taking shape - love the colours and subtle tones you've acheived.

Thanks Gary

All parts are now painted including touch ups and she is ready for clear coating ! The turbo charges I sprayed a base of semi gloss black first , let that dry then spray Vallejo Metal Coat steel . Once this was dried the first round of weathering is applied . I used Tamiya weathering sets for this choosing different shades of rust tones . Wheels have their first round of weathering as well . They were given a wash of Flory sand wash , but still need to be dull coat .

Those hinges for the gear doors were a pain to do ...24 in all !

First round of decals are now , tomorrow will be the rest of all the small stencils which isn't much . I used the kit decals after all , had a few crack on me but no big deal . Nothing that colourful language can't fix !

I hope that your language was as colourful as the transfers! This is looking very good - not too long now before it is finished.

Looking very nice Alexis! Where did this P-38 serve? It will be a fine example in due course, I'm sure. Nearly done!

Best regards,

Bob

Looking Fantastic Alexis! There is something about adding the markings that really brings an aircraft model to life. This one is No Exception!

Thanks Bob and Rick !

Bob , all I know is what is marked on the instruction sheet . 383rd Fighter Squadron , 364 Fighter Group .

Rest of the stencils are on and like The Mustang everything is sealed and set a aside to dry overnight . Weathering can start and shouldn't be much longer before this one is button up !

Wonderful progress Alexis !

Thanks Ed !

Made a bit more progress on her with the weathering finished and sealed once again . I had a boo - boo on the right side of the canopy and I'm pissed ! Fict ich pissed ! Tried to fix it and made it worse . Will show photo's of this later when the final photo's are ready . All other parts are set to go with just finally assembly left , but stuff needs to dry first . The replace wheels from Ultracast , front one is to big and had some sanding a trimming on the gear leg , all good now !
