Giant plane and fantastic build. Kudos!

Wonderful and precise build..!!! It was a relief to learn that you managed the nose weight on this "tail sitter" ....60 grams...wow.... About a month back, I sent you pictures of my P 38 build to your e-mail. Maybe, it went into your junk folder.... I believe the Pacific theatre(Guadalcanal) units of the US Air Corps were all meant for high speed interception and not for ground attack. Hence, no pylons/pods were in place for bombs or rockets.... All in all....Great work...!!!!

[@harjindersokhi9852]

Excellent build, great work. The reason why you couldn’t find instructions for the rockets is due to this variant of the P-38 not being able to carry them. Later variants carried the “Christmas tree” rocket pylons. Keep up the great work.

❤amazing swing from iaf to the us air force

[@swing.wing_singh]

It will soon be a reverse swing back to IAF 😆

[@barshankarmakar4342]

Just an amazing build. It is quite common with the case of such models like P-38, B-24 Liberator, B-25 Mitchell to be habitual tail-sitters. Its from my experience through, as I had built the B-25 in the past. But, anyhow its a modeller's true skills and technical expertise that comes into paly at solving such situations, which you have done amazingly. 😊🤗👍

This one was the best build yet so nicely clean and smooth surface i can tell u r very proud of this one. I m also building model sanding nubs and making plastic smooth is hard as i m not painting. I will apply decals once my solution arrives from ebay. Which top coat would u recommend?

[@swing.wing_singh]

I've used various stuff as top coat. Daler Rowney gloss varnish is good, humbrol gloss varnish is also fine

[@1996starter]

Also how many layers did u apply for olive drap color

[@swing.wing_singh]

3 thin coats

[@1996starter]

Whats your thinner ratio for the blsck color

[@swing.wing_singh]

Just a dab of black in half an airbrush cup of pre thinned sap green
