Academy 1/48 P38M Night Lightning

Looks good.....takes me back memory lane....

I converted a Revell kit to a M when I was kid (mainly because all I had at the time was black paint!)

Big thanks for all the positive feedback from all! Gary its all ModelMaster enamel.Vance the Radar area is pretty stark as is the whole office! Cuda I was worried about the decals ,run into it on others as well. The colors are also off on the prop blade decals they are'nt yellow on the real one. Aside from ordering a/m decals just opted to take a chance,was more worried they would split apart or silver real bad.

TREYZX10R,

Great Job, I've always loved the Lightnings. I know this is not your fault but did you suspect that the red decals were a little opaque when you first started? I've always ran into this problem when I use the kits issued decals when there is a scheme that has a very dark color involved like Black, Dark Gray or Dark Green.

Again Great Job

Nice looking machine TREYZX10R, how does the Academy kit handle the radar-man's office? I had to scratch a lot of goodies for my Revellogram kit. (I also left the rockets off, didn't even use the rails!)

Nice build.  From old movies it sure looked like a tight squeeze in the back seat.

Very nice Trey you turned that one around very quickly a great finish and the pre-shading really paid off.

Vaughan

Looks like a good build to me. I always like those sinister looking black nightfighters!

Looks great to me Trey.  Black is tough to pull off, but you managed to do it. ...and the Academy P-38 isn't a walk in the park either from what I hear.  

Hey, I like it Trey!  Is that black enamel or acrylic?  Either way, I'd say you've done a really nice job.

Gary

She looks pretty darn good to me!!!

Outstanding finish.  Nice work.
