Have fun with that Alexis! I recently completed the Academy P-38J in 1/48, as "Scat II" of Robin Olds fame. It was fun and very rewarding, as I had not done a WWII aircraft in many years. I tried out the newer Vallejo acrylic Metal colors for airbrushing, and was very pleased with the results. What are you planning with your J?
Best regards,
Bob
