Hi all,

Itīs been a wile without posting...this is my last 2013 built, the rather difficult 1/72 P-38H from RS Models.

Fit is not its greatest asset, and cockpit detail is scarce, on the other hand, recessed panel lines are beautiful, and the decals are very good too.

Paint job was done with MM acrylics.

Hope you enjoy it!

Felipe, Nicely done. To me a model presentation here is foremost about the overall image, and you certainly succeeded. Your two tone paint scheme and weathering clearly represents a well used P-38H. Really like how you faded the green in a blotchy pattern.

My only issue is why you posted the 1st pictures which clearly has a white balance issue where the greens became browns, as well as a very shallow depth of field. The rest of your pictures look spot on, and are consistent throughout your presentation.

Joel...thanks for looking and commenting!

The first picture...just playing around with the photo editor, itīs kind of a front cover pretending to be an old picture.

Cheers!

Hi all,

Fit is not its greatest asset, and cockpit detail is scarce,




Both RS themselves and Brengun produced cockpit upgrades for this kit.
