Excellent work! How do you guys do it? It takes me nearly a year to finish a model! And look you have three.

Good going, and thanks for sharing

Ed I mixed dark sea blue and white until it looked right. THought the 2 tone blue was pretty cool. Picked Fireball because of the flames. JOHN

Again, great work, John. Thats quite a collection you have there. I love the colors on that P-47D. Now whose signature was it that had a similar scheme?

That would be me! Big Smile [:D]

Nice work, John. What did you use for the rudder color on your Thunderbolt? I have one currently on my shelf right now that's going to have that particular color scheme. Regards. - Ed

Good looking stuff! I can attest to the PITA nature of those decals for the Lightning, almost bounced mine off the wall a few times. But self control got the better of me.

Pix you are right about the decals. The dragon tails are 7 pieces for each side of each boom (4 Sides) I'm guessing but I think it took me about 4 hours to decal that thing. I saw the Aeromaster decals for it and knew I had to build that one. Next one I do is with the green front nacelles. Thanks all for the comments and praise makes me think I know what I'm doing. JOHN

Nice job, John. The decals on the P-38 looks like they must have been a bear to apply. The tail boom/nacelle seam on that kit can be real tricky, and yours looks great. The only thing I didn't like about that kit was the prop attachment.

Nice paint jobs on them all.

chopper the one that was in FSM, I beleive had the green cowls maybe I'm wrong.
You can't see them in the picture but I also added 3 shot bazooka tubes to each side of the center nacelle, A version of this squadrons markings are in the P-38 in action book.
Thanks for the praise guys, been out of the loop for awhile and just getting back in, the 262 is my first kit since coming back. JOHN
