I think it was like $131 Paul?I have five kits in the cart right all Tamiya kits 1/48 with two being the different versions of the P-38's avg. price to the door $38 akit with the P-38's coming SS @$70 plus shipping it's a deal.

I think it might of looked better with more definition to the edges being 1/48th just my 2cents.

I got both kits including shipping from Japan for cheaper than the F4 stateside with shipping.

I am so-so on the splotches Mike but that's me but the second crate Rocks I luv it....really sweet.

"SIT" starting to come together 1/2 snafus on a decal one I will fix the other "Persian rug flaw"

making good time then

Got this yesterday courtesy of TJTX aka Tony in the mail for one of the Tamyia Spits I have decals,QBoost Exhaust and Master barrels a gimme by Tony would not even take postage.Thank You Tony it's going to use.

Still got some snow on the N roof and N front yard it's been 4 days now time to go away should be gone by tomorrow temps mid 50's

Meaning a downward slope to the front?If so hard to see from here almost looks like a + front to back pitch to me though ever so slight tops 3/5' which would make sense for flow to the engine.A car engine is done the same also to allow oil drain back holes that flow through the cylinder head through the block back to the oil pan for the pump to pick up.getting a little winded. I see what your reference the very front facing the engine got it.

Nice looking build I myself have done a couple of PCM kits in the Italian family.I stayed away from that kit having seen builds fight the wing root area to which does not seem to show in yours.

It's always something with the woman in our lives.

So Martin had some Alclad "Dull Aluminum" went down pasty like when I was doing larger areas like the gun panels here and the flaps on the F-84G I tried tonight just a few minutes ago cause I like to paint the spinner and blades silver I am going to thin it with MrHobby leveling thinner it frigg'en fixed it! I then taped off the the exhaust panels used Dark Aluminum put two drops sprayed better!We use the leveling thinner all day on I do on both acrylics and lacquer and AlClad is lacquer.

Slowly getting there first time I ever had AlClad peal on the spine of the plane think I was masking to fast doing panels like not even an hour

Wow!

When all said and done we got what looks like 6".

I do not know how one measures for snow but took a dowel hit the ground it's a little over 4" ?

Not something you see in or neck of the woods last snowfall over an 1" was 2014 and before that 1996 snow 004.MPG

Nice one Scott the painted head looks great

It's a very easy kit Paul with excellent fit what you see is maybe 3/4 hrs thus far.

A little Tamyia 1/48 P-51B that's going to be painted as a "C" crate "SIT" for a GB on another site.From what I gather the "B" was built at Inglewood and the "C" was built in Dallas?

She came out looking nice Pete looks a MkIX to me.

Neat little subject John looking Good!

I mean look at those small MG's on the deck

It's running about $260 here in the states still a fantastic value and if I am not mistaken Carl the 18" guns are built underneath the deck as well.

Looks Great John as you said looks used
