1/48 Tamiya P-38G "Zirkus Rosarius"
In looking for something different I chose to my second Tamiya P-38 as a captured aircraft, albeit flown briefly, and evaluated by the Luftwaffe.
I added Ultracast wheels, Eduard steel belts on kit seat and the guns are Master barrels set [...]
Review: Upcoming kit reviews. Meng Dr-1 with MVR bust, and Tamiya P-38H Limited Edition kits
Several weeks ago I received these kits from Sprue Brothers. I was able to get my hands on these two thanks to my loving wife (for putting up with me) and an available balance on a credit card. I also want to thank Paul Nash, [...]

P-38 Lightening
This is one of my first aircraft models. A couple weeks ago I was looking around on Imodler and decided that I wanted to build an aircraft. I chose the P-38 because it is my favorite WW2 plane. I originally thought I would have problems [...]

Hasegawa, 1:48 Scale Focke-Wulf Fw-190A-4 "Wurger"
This is my latest build. Finished it about a week ago, along with the Tamiya P-38, which I still need to run the aerials on.
Great kit, that really went together well. Excellent detail, throughout even if it is a little fiddley in [...]
P-38H made from Tamiya’s new Lightning kit
This is probably the most popular kit released recently and I've finally got around to finishing my build. Went for aftermarket decals because the two markings offered from the box are pretty dull to my eyes. Also has the benefit of being [...]
P-38F Lightning, Moms favorite, 1/72 Hasegawa
Inspired by the recent P-38 builds of late, I acquired a vintage Hasegawa kit, where you have to do a little surgery on the nacelles to model the F version. Using a combo of spares and USAAF letters and number sheet from Microscale, I did [...]
Vengeance! Barber's P-38G Lightning
This is my interpretation of the P-38G flown by Col. Rex T. Barber during Operation Vengeance, the epic mission to intercept Admiral Yamamoto aboard his punctual Betty. That story has been well told elsewhere, and the history of the plane [...]
Mom's 1/48 Academy P-38
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 [...]
