So, being only six month long campaign I'll go for a P-47 instead of P-61. But it will be a P-47 with a Black Widow suitable name - P-47D-15-RA "Sleepy Time Gal" Serial Number 42-23224. The model is a Tamiya 1/72 edition with some aftermarket items. Tomorrow I'll post some pics of the whole thing. Good luck to all of you!

Hi,
I'll be building a P-40L of the checkertail clan with the "Trixie" nose art.
The kit is the AMTech kit and the decals are from an Aeromaster sheet.
Cheers, Stefan.

Looks to be a fun build with lots of improvement to the basic kit, Justin. Looking forward to follow your progress.
I will probabl;y build the Revell/Monogram 1/48 B-25 bomber. But as usual I might change my mind a lot of times.

Finally, the chosen subject for this group build.
IMAG0741
I did some preparation work (searching photos, camouflage and markings instructions) only to find that the Quickboost R-2800 is completely wrong. So for now I'll only use the PE set and gun barrels. Sadly, some parts of the set are equally dreadful as they are missing bending lines.

Hi all,
My entry here will be this 1/72 scale Academy P-38 Lightning dressed up as the California Cute
I never built a P-38 or a plane with the black and white allied stripes so this will be a real challenge to my painting skills

Thank you. Soon to upload some progress pics.
Sal, you're one fast modeller!
Your D-Day stripes are made freehand entirely, am I right? They could benefit some masking to make the edges sharper. About the weathering - some silver chipping around the cockpit entrance, and the areas where the ground crew would walk, exhaust stains behind the superchargers... That's for starters. If you are experienced with your airbrush you can post shade some panel lines and also imitate the fading of the OD paint.

Fast Yes, I am retired
Free hand stripes yes as well I didnt want to mask them and take the chance of the tape pulling off the paint I will try the chipping but that never goes right for me and my shading/fading skills are not that great either but we will see. Thanks for the help Keeperofsouls2099

A coat of future would insure you not pulling up paint.Also good dry times I usually give mine a good day between steps for the paint to cure really good.pre cleaning to get all the oils off before painting.another good one is to put the tape on your pants and pull it off to remove some of the tack first
