Mom's 1/48 Academy P-38

by Tom Bebout on February 9, 2020 · in Aviation · 18 ≡

This build is a tribute to my late mother and is not representative of any P-38 that actually flew. However, I did steal the nose work idea from Richard Bongs' P-38. Years ago when I started building models again mom asked me if I would [...]

by Darren Dickerson on January 2, 2020 · in Aviation · 12 ≡

Here she is at last...life got in the way more than a few times since I started building this wonderful kit. I added an Ultracast seat and wheels, Master barrels and antenna from spares box. Decals are from the Eduard kit (Academy mold) [...]
