Hi all, I really hope You all are safe and doing well! Just to say hi, I was quite busy for other stuff in life but I was able to finish few builds started in the past ;) . About the kit, very nice kit I can recommend it highly. The P-38F version was also nice but it was 100% clean build for other purposes last year so this one is with heavy weathering. Please take care and all the best for You!! Dusan. PS; I will try to answer questions from previous videos soon.

Жаль что я ничего не понимаю)

[@VonRammsteyn]

Stay safe bro!

[@AlexModeling]

Stay safe Dusan and healthy! Love the channel and the builds. Really have to learn a lot from you! Keep safe and fantastic work on this One!

[@badokurka281]

amazing model, you have really beautiful models

[@TheModelGuy]

This has been your best work yet! Love the tape work, that really sets it apart

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Great kit and great build! 👍 The PE and resin that comes out for this kit is going to be unbelievable! I can see building 'several' of these! Thanks for the video!

[@danielquinn8669]

I was never interested in the P-38 but I am now. Looks like an awesome kit and you definitely did it justice!

[@TheModelGuy]

Mind blowing! Love the work you put into this. Blows the old Academy -38 out of the sky

[@MakingPlasticModels]

Looks like a brilliant kit Dusan, I will have to try this one day.

[@deimos2k6]

In my opinion your videos are probabily the best I could find around. Just can't stop watching them... Plus, they are very informative, and contain some good advices on how to assemble models properly. Can't wait for the next one!

[@MAN394631]

Hey Dusan, your model looks simply fantastic, thats one of your best models ever, well done mate

[@gsperanza07]

Dear Dusan, love the white gloves and chipping technique, always a pleasure to watch your post, keep on posting !

[@bobyoung1698]

What an outstanding kit. This is why Tamiya is respected by modelers around the world. Their attention to detail and their ability to engineer a molding process that ensures a secure, easy fit is unrivaled. I built a lesser kit years ago but will try again with this one.👍

[@johnberry2877]

Can't beat that TAMIYA attention to detail. Worth every penny!!

[@xrayaiz74]

My favorite aircraft design from WW2. I have always thought it was one of the most unique designs of fighter aircraft to date with the double-boom construction. Those nose cannons were deadly from what I've read and the P-38 had plenty of them. Very nice build video. I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you.

[@mikeglenn1000]

Excellent, excellent build Dusan! Great special effect at the end of your video with P-38 Lightning and the F-35 Lightning!!

[@dawnfallon6812]

First comment I saw that noticed. Such a pretty P-38 you hav-F35!

[@philipjohnson6662]

Completed my kit yesterday, it's a Taymia! Assembly is no sweat. Great details. It's all in the paint job.

[@billray7703]

this one the best ever great build love the aftermarket keep them coming please

[@ultimate_bohemian3867]

I have to consider this as your best build ever, sir Dusan. Superb techniques and procedure 👍

[@jrh2u]

This kit is one of the best engineered kits ever and you have done a brilliant job! Thanks for posting this.

[@pietyaa]

Without rivets? Please.

[@JN-vp1mx]

The best modeller on KZbin building the best model maker of them all. Incredible build

[@jimw7527]

Have not yet started this kit yet, don’t have the time with my calc 2 class at the moment. But will use these amazing techniques to obtain a cool result! Great job with the paint!

[@martinjrgensen8234]

This kit had the best fit of any model kit I have ever built. It was superb.

[@kwanchan8709]

HI Dusan, thanks for sharing your hobby with our enthusiast. Your attention to detail is great, as well as use of etched metal parts and advanced techniques in building and painting. Goes to show there is always room to learn new tricks and skills. Keep up the great work!

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Thank you very much!! 👍🍺 all the best!! Dusan.

[@charlesemerson6763]

Lovely piece of work Dusan. Keep them coming.

[@midnightmodeling1639]

Great Job, that is the best P-38 build I've seen. You have awesome skills.

[@ianjackson7515]

Have watched all of your videos, Dusan - but this has raised the standard above anything that you've shared on YT before... it could be because I'm a massive fan of the P-38 as a subject but honestly I believe it's more than that. Truly one of your very best. Best from NZ.

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Thank you for your kind words Ian! 🍺 We'll it's not my best but I like it a lot. I have much more serious builds in my display case. All the best!! Dusan

[@Arrow32172]

As soon as I saw the beautiful shape of the P-38 in the thumbnail I knew this was going to be good. I was mesmerized from start to finish watching you construct this masterpiece. You did a wonderful job and stayed true to life, bringing out all of her glorious details. You have outdone yourself with this one! Thank you for posting this!

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Thank you very much for your kind words! I really appreciate! All the best! Dusan.

[@pauldonnelly1145]

another amazing build-there is no end to your skill dusan

[@5tmvgy4k]

Love the flash of the F-35 Lightning II at the end. Great touch!

[@averagedemkosupporter1050]

Wow you are incredible, i have watched this several times and I’m still as amazed as the first time. If i become half as skilled as you I would die a successful scale modeler

[@MrBrianWaffle]

I will say I love your videos. You have a nice background music and choose some great kits. What an outstanding job you have done on this P-38. My airport here in Ca was originally an Army Aircorp field for training of P-38's so I have always loved this bird. The Fork Tail Devil.

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Thank you very much Brian! Cool info! All the best! Dusan

[@B0M0A0K]

Astonishing Detail and craftsmanship. Just superb!

[@fleetwarrior75]

Amazing work Dusan you just keep getting better!

[@FosterZygote]

I'm building this kit now. It really is the best engineered kit I've ever seen. It's also clearly engineered to produce later model Lightnings. I expect a J/L kit in the future.

Fantastic work and great video Dusan. Beautiful Lightning. Greetings. Aleš 😎👍

[@willm5032]

Hannants are the GOAT for model supplies and cool decal schemes

[@YesdogLive]

Amazing. Expert build, wonderful filmmaking.

[@OdeeOz]

Absolutely astounding detailing. Thanks for sharing with us all.

[@chriskinney8947]

Your such a inspiration, absolutely stunning job

[@danielwilliams3994]

I love this build! Thank you Dusan. I've always used a gloss black base for my bare metal silver. I'm surprised you don't. But, it looks the same so I will save myself some time and skip that step! More info on how you painted and weathered the superchargers would be cool. Now I have to get my p-38 and start on it. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Thank you very much! Well sometimes I also use gloss black but in many cases I can use the gray one - regular. All the best! Dusan

[@Sniper_Cat_71]

Stunning work, I think it's your best yet!

[@plasticmodelstudio]

oh my God! What nice kit! I need to build it too! Fantastic build! Cockpit and wheel wells details are great!

[@lester7OO]

Really nice built,as always!! Love your work!

[@mark109s]

As always you did a fantastic job! Thanks Dusan.

[@TheDiamondback73]

Stunning!!! I built this kit many years ago, and, despite my being a "fumble fingered boob", it was beautiful, beyond my skills!

[@martinthwaites2432]

Another great build and video Dusan, keep em coming!

[@simonwaite5815]

Thank you for another excellent video. You used some cool techniques with the weathering, and the PE was awesome (you must be an eye surgeon in real life!). Best wishes to you.

[@k_c7471]

There is more Eduard's parts than the original kit 😉. Well done btw! Outstanding job! Cheers from 🇨🇵.

[@cdpgbc-mw2kz]

Greetings from Canada. Superb build.

[@davidnash1220]

I love this channel I love the review I love the 'thumbs up' I appreciate the absolute skill of your work Your like the 'Stig' of the modelling world Just fantastic I hope that you your family and all of your viewers are safe and taking care of themselves Thanks simply amazing skill and a big thumbs up from me👍

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Thank you very much David! We'll I miss the Top Gear now. All the best! Dusan

[@andresmunozolvera6519]

Creo que tus vídeos y sobre todo la manera en que realizas las maquetas es genial me gustan mucho. Ojalá si te es.posible explicar con más detalle las técnicas que empleas y del criterio que te hace decidir cómo terminar tus modelos, este video y el modelo F4 U , son muy buenos.... Gracias y felicitaciones saludos.!!!

[@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab]

Beyond superb! Many congratulations on this excellent work.👍🏻👏🏻

[@larryshamlin7573]

This kit looks awesome,can't wait to get one,thanks for showing,Awesome build love it.

[@FlyingSModels]

Great looking P-38! Really enjoyed the video build.

[@PeteCourtier]

Love this kit. I only replaced the gun barrels and wheels. It’s a work of art👍😀

[@darrylleggaviationart2927]

I love your videos...you best build so far - SUPERB!

Awesome plane, very nice build. Thanks for sharing.

[@tcfhk6399]

simply a pleasure to just watch the smooth building video

[@bamboozledbob3298]

I feel like this kit went together better than the actual plane. Superb job on the build too.

[@nackdibby7960]

Nice video and incredible build! That thing looks amazing!

[@mr.modern4419]

THIS IS THE BEST P-38 BUILD I HAVE SEEN on KZbin!!!!! Great technique, great execution, AWESOME results. A build from a TOTAL PRO modeler!!!! A tip of the flight helmet to you sir!!!!

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Thank You very much for your kind words!! All the best !! Dusan.

[@JDnBeastlet]

Amazing work. I don't have your skill but in my limited experience, Tamiya kits are the best of the best.

[@blastimir]

Amazing build. Great work.

[@luispalma1452]

Simplemente genial, exelente trabajo

[@Tom-vk6ij]

Amazing - I just started the hobby again from childhood - on my 11th build - on day, I hope to be half as good as this!

[@dopplereffect5550]

As always good work. The plane is beautiful

[@TheModelGuy]

Tamiya really is at the top of the market. As much as I also love Eduard, Tamiya just goes together so much nicer. I have their A6M5 from 2008 and it's the best 1/48 kit I've ever done. You have to stop doing such amazing work because now I want this Lightning too lol

[@gusgeleynse9982]

Looks Amazing! Love your work!

[@sgt_loeram1933]

Wow Dusan, just wow! What a true artist

[@johnmauldon8563]

What a beauty of a kit and you have done a fantastic paint job....I do like the P-38 if Tamiya ever do it in 1/32 I,m in.

[@tristanemery8748]

I think they already have

[@panzer-meister]

It's nice work as usual. Especially, cockpit work is excellent. I always enjoy your video. Thank you ! : )

[@stahhelandre7558]

Great Job! Супер! Отличная работа!

[@frederickdonley5392]

Great build I plan to build this one I didn't know there were so many aftermarket sets for it, there goes my budget! Thanks for sharing the video

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

The kit alone is worth the build! Thank you!!! Dusan

[@DarksouIjah]

As always. Simply amazing.

[@DavidTurner1]

Amazing work! My grandfather built P-38's during the war.

[@nicholaslafrance5735]

Wow that looks amazing. Great job !

[@texleeger8973]

A stunning rendition of THE Pacific bad boy of the air. The imagination revels in envisioning sights and sounds of scores of these beasts lurking in Japanese skies.

[@drivewaystar6485]

Interesting panel line paint technique. Looks good.

[@Bullyfootlemon]

this is an amazingly good build and paint job.. I only wish I was able to do something of that quality and detail. Saying that I haven't built anything in over 25 years plus.. think I'll get back into it with the lockdown

[@anthonygregory1391]

Absolutely amazing work. 👍👍

[@0523franz]

Excellent work! Really fun to watch. 26 minutes have just flown! I’ve clicked the button, Subscribe and Like.👍

Thanks for support!! All the best! Dusan

[@jhaybz29]

bro! that masking tape over detail sanding is brilliant!

[@retrovicecity9017]

Killer job on that...WOW!

[@MVeminor7]

Now, that's a paint and weathering job!!!. Absolutely a fantastic look!!!

[@franktozier3184]

Nice looking kit. You"ve done a great job.

[@christophersnyder1532]

Excellent build. I plan to build all P-38's that participated in the Yamamoto Mission, of a smaller scale. I also like the music accompanying this video. Keep well, and safe.

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Thanks Christopher!! All the best! Dusan

[@stephenmcdonald7908]

What an amazing paint job.

[@lsdv666]

Lots of wonderful model videos. Love this channel

[@daveashdown9904]

I stopped building kits 15 plus years ago. Now getting close to retirement I've started getting the urge to see if I still have my skills to start again although my eyesight isn't what it used to be. I really enjoy watching you're videos which are giving me a big incentive to re ignite the flame. My skillset was nowhere near yours but was enjoyable looking at the end result once built. Keep em coming. Great stuff.

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Thank you very much!!! It's not that hard to get back on track and enjoy! Thanks again! 🍺 All the best! Dusan.

[@kurk1701a]

Fantastic build great work and skill.

[@robertwayne2004]

Thanks for sharing your build a friend from Canada Rob ✌

[@Salvelinus9a]

A work of art Thank you

[@osmes84]

Und wieder einmal ein Modell in perfekter Form... Es hat was sehr beruhigendes und faszinierendes beim zu schauen... 🤘💪👍 Danke für deine Videos und mach bitte weiter so Lg und bleib gesund 💪💪🤘

[@ScaleModelAircraft]

Ah!!! Thank you very very much!!! Dusan 🖐🍻🍺

[@highdarktemplar]

Outstanding job !!! Looks quite expensive though but those details are crazy for a 48 scale

[@TheModelGuy]

Easily another $100 on goodies

[@raphaelmadeiraabad]

Great! Congratulations from Brazil !

[@charlieb1613]

Very nice build. The kit looked to be of high quality and detail.

[@sofielee4122]

tbh i might do this for my next kit, it looks like a really good one edit: as a side note. the backs of propeller blades tend to get banged up and full of scratches more thn the fronts. but thats a teeny nitpick, this model looks incredible!! thanks for showing us :)

[@bearbergmann2782]

Love it! Possibly my favorite yet.

[@Kairasp1]

Superbly made model, good show buddy.

[@davidnash1220]

Stunning work

[@ovidiuschley3346]

[@michaelvirtuoso3432]
