1/48 Monogram P-38L "Pacific Prowler"
I got this Monogram P-38 (1966 issue) super cheap online and couldn't resist the desire to rebuild one of the very first models that I built as a kid. It was a fun nostalgic trip down memory lane, but it took some careful test fitting and [...]

A couple. of classics, and one I have searched for for years
I have found myself more and more drawn to vintage kits. Maybe it's getting older and waxing nostalgic, but I find them fun and much less stress than modern super kits, which I still like, hello Tamiya F-4B!. So I picked up the original [...]

Hasegawa P-38J Lightning, ´Virginia Marie´, 1/48
I bought this one because I like how it look the metal color with that blue. Really different from others Lightnings.
This one is from Hasegawa and it doesn´t has many details, and parts doesn´t fit really good so... I had to do a lot of [...]
Tamiya P-38F MTO, USAAF 1/48th Tunisia 1943
To say that the Tamiya P-38 was a joy to build is an understatement. Having built the Academy and Hasegawa Lightning's which are good models of the P-38, just that Tamiya had really taken a rather complicated twin boom air frame and made [...]
Classic Kit: Aurora 1/48 P-38 Restoration
This is a labor of love. I wanted to see if I could build a broken relic into something presentable. I learned about the P-38 when I build this kit as a child and I would fly it around outside shooting down me109s and what have you. The [...]
