I’ve wanted to build a P-38 for a while and have had the Tamiya P-38 F/G kit in my stash for about a year. I chose Lt. John G. O’Neill’s “Beautiful Lass” as the subject. I’ve always thought P-38s looked much better in flight [...]
A high altitude interceptor designed by Kurt Tank's that saw operational service in the final months of WWII.
