Tamiya P-38 Lightning
Many of you might know that I used to be a volunteer at the National Museum of WWII Aviation. My favorite plane to work on was the P-38 “White 33” which was Tamiya’s reference when designing their kit. As I already made a White 33 in [...]

1/32 Lockheed P-38 Lightning Trumpeter 02227
At the end of last year I finished this P-38 from Trumpeter. Not a very easy kit to build. There were almost no parts that fitted together without problems. A lot of filling, sanding and repairing lost surface details. If it had not been [...]
