Hi folks... I'm about to take the plunge
I bought a guys collection last monthand have decided to keep and build this kit.
having NEVER built an airplane in my life I was wondering if there was any kit-specific advice out there.
Any help would be Very Much Appreciated
Thanks,
Chuck

I had the Droop Snoot version. This is the very old Revell 1/32 scale P-38 kit.

I built one decades ago as a teenager...I recall it was quite a struggle at the time...

I built one, but, raised panel lines, some ill-fitting parts, and a boshed paint job made me scrap it.
