Hasegawa 1/48 P-38J

I've been working on this one and decided it's about time to post a couple of pics. I'll use decals that are included in the Kagero book. I think it will make a nice looking P-38 model. 🙂

I've always liked nose art on my builds. I've got the invasion stripes done now and can start on the camo with the undersides gray first. 🙂

Progress. Those stripes and yellow cowlings would really negate the camo! 🙂

Finished with decaling. Now for a clear flat over spray and some weathering.

This kit kicked my butt when it came out. Looks like it going much better for you.

It has had it's moments Carl! I had to do a LOT of trimming on the turbo chargers to get them to finally fit. The windscreen piece hasn't really fit well and I wish I had taken the trouble to fix it before painting, etc so it's just too late to address that now. Oh well. I should have it finished up in a day or two. 🙂

Finished.
