I'm pleased you like them.

I really like the looks of this P-38. A very interesting color scheme and certainly not something you see much. I'll use the Hasegawa 1/48 P-38L for this build. (Had to lay in a extra supply of gloss yellow for this one and the Mustang just finished! LOL) Stay tuned! 😉 Some history: This a/c crashed on takeoff in Salt Lake City in 1981 after the right engine failed. Pilot killed, airframe destroyed. Sad.......

Thanks Rob. I agree, the clipped wings sure make a difference in the Mustangs "look".

I appreciate the nice comments. Thank you!

Thank you Gaz! I'm glad you like it.

Thanks Hubert!

I'm glad you like it Harv, thanks!

Thanks Kevin! Certainly out of the ordinary!

Finished with this one. Check completed works.

Finished with this one. The kit is a Tamiya P-51D/K. I clipped the wingtips and stabilizer tips, removed the fuselage fuel tank and several of the cockpit items that were removed from the real airplane. The prop is from a Trumpeter -4 Corsair and the seat belts are FineMolds. Paint is Testor's. The decals are by Draw Decals. I find building racers enjoyable and a nice change of pace. As depicted this a/c was flown by E.D. Weiner in races in 1968. I hope you like it! Remember to click on the 1st pic for best resolution and to view as a slide show. 😉

I hate it when the power goes out! I bought a good generator a while back and it's really come in handy a few times. Beats the crap out of sitting around in the dark, etc. 😉

I guess all you can do is hunker down and try to stay warm. No fun!🤪

I look forward to that one too Peter. I hope y'all are staying warm and out of the weather! John

😉 Yes indeed.

Better there than here Peter! LOL We'd be up the creek if we got that much snow. 🤪

I'm glad you like it Gaz, thanks! More to come! LOL

Thanks Kai! I too think it will be a eye catcher and will go along well with my other Mustang racer Bardahl Special. It's nice to get a change of interest and build a whole new genre of warbirds. I'm figuring on a Hasegawa 1/48 P-38L next. It wasn't a racer but was a "airshow" aircraft. Check it out.

THAT'S what I call toucas freezin' weather Carl!!! 🙄

I hope y'all come through okay Peter. NOT something I'd want to have to face! 🤪

Wherever they are, or were, I'm not about to click on 'em.

Thanks Harv! I'm just about to go cross-eyed now! LOL 😄

Thanks Peter. Sure is different isn't it? LOL

Thanks Rob! Me too! A whole new outlook on the airplane builds.

More progress on the decals.

Since you posted that on my Mustang build and didn't state you were asking about a CORSAIR canopy I naturally thought you were referring to a MUSTANG canopy. What version of the Corsair? Birdcage, -1A, or -1D? PM me on this Kevin.
