The P-38 is arguably the best... Forget that, it is THE BEST fighter of world war two, and is epically AWESOME!

Almost Done

Post by deckape »

so far on the update is I have constructed and installed the main landing gear assembly. I got rid of the kits vacuformed landing gears struts like that of the nise wheel assembly i made my own from rolled paper tubeing and painted same Chromate green. Remarkably enough she sits on all three wheels without weight happy happy here. so far she is almost complete with the exception of touch up painting and a little detailing of the landing gear wing walks and yellow tips on the propeller, and she is good to go tommorow if the good lord i willing for a day of sunshine I will take her outsiImagede for some finished pictures here is the update pix.
