The crisp lines and rivet detail on the canopy are perfect!

Thanks, guys! A little bit more done. Finished up the props and spinners. Installed the turbos which are Eduard Brassin and were not quite a drop-fit. Fine after some material was removed on the bottoms of each one. Finished the seat with some Quinta belts and weathering. Installed the front windscreen. Getting there. Cheers, Jay     |

Such a striking build so far with details everywhere one looks. Those Quinta interior bits really are "all that" and those seat belts really set that seat off Jay.

If I didn't know any better I would have thought the picture was looking down at a 1:1 version P-38. Stellar work Jay!

Choice detailing Jay. You have this P-38 looking right sharp.

Thanks, fellows! Installed the other canopy pieces and I think I'm about done other than the antenna wire. Need to go get some thicker super glue than I have at the moment for that. Cheers, Jay   |

Man, this is crazy good. The paint demarcations on the canopy glass are super tight...I love that.

Beautiful, Jay!
I've been attaching aerial wires using Formula 560 canopy glue, it works well with the Uschi thread because it takes hardly any tension to pull it straight. If I goof it's easier to clean up the old glue and start over.

This is just over the top with all of the details and the NMF you've got going on Jay. Already a good kit and then one of these lands on your bench. Truly outstanding work brother.

You have flat nailed it Jay. Absolutely gorgeous P-38. You have certainly provided me with plenty of inspiration when I get around to one of mine.
