Lockheed P-38 Lightning

Review: Tamiya P-38H review

Herewith a review strictly for iModeler: History: The summer of 1943 finally saw the Fifth Air Force begin to receive the desperately-needed reinforcement and expansion that General Kenney had argued for since his arrival in Australia. [...]

Airfix 1/72 English Electric Lightning F.2AEast Fortune Museum of Flight 2019....ish

Hi There, On our last visit to East Fortune Innis absolutely fell in love with the Lightning displayed there. He listened to the audio and looked at her all round and then sat in the Vulcan Ejection seat next to her and just stared [...]

Hasegawa 1/32 Kawanishi Shiden-Kai. From the Empire Of Japan Group Build.

Felina! (recognize that, Breaking Bad people?) Best finale ever from the best show ever. Anyway this is my finale, less spectacular for sure, but the Shiden-Kai is done. Hasegawa makes it so easy to do a nice looking model. Only screw-ups [...]

P-38G Lightning: Tamiya's latest!

A long awaited kit & very much overdue as well. This one has taken me a long time to finish as I was hoping to find some aftermarket decals to make it a bit different from the OOB selection. Hannants have some expected but not yet, so [...]

P-38H made from Tamiya’s new Lightning kit

1/72 Hasegawa P-38 Lightning “Yippee”

Lockheed painted their 5000th P-38 Lightning "Vermillion" red in 1944 and used it as a demonstrator for a short period. Perhaps this one of the first "Commemorative" paint schemes that are so prevalent these days with [...]

Hasegawa 1/48 Lockheed P-38L Lightning 15th AF

Another contribution by my dad to our Airwar over Austria theme, built in 2015. Hasegawa kit (Putt-Putt-Maru boxing), one of their weaker kits, with Kagero decals (miniTopcolors 33, Lightnings at War Pt.II) Painted with Tamiya X-32 [...]

Review: 1/48th A/B-26 Invader, ICM/Monogram/Revell Review

With the new ICM new mold B-26B now in our hot little hands. Though overshadowed by the P-38 released about the same time. Still it was an anticipated and long awaited release that a lot of WWII model builders have waited for. I built [...]
