Brand new Tamiya 1/48 P-38

I just got mine and did a quick unboxing vid for that and a Tamiya Corsair.

I got mine last week Friday and have started it. It's definitely a great kit. I wasn't ready for a 54 step instruction booklet thats for sure. I haven't come across any issues but from what I have done the landing gear bays are a bit finicky but very detailed compared to Hasegawa and Academy, they do go together nicely though. Just don't slap things together and it'll be fine. The only thing I can say that is a let down is the gun barrels are solid with decals. I have a master barrel set to replace the kit ones with.

Waiting for mine from sprew bros.

Andy's Hobby Hedquarters on YouTube built one before they were released, you might check that out.

Just ordered mine from Hobbylinc. I swore I wouldn't buy anymore right now but I had to have this one. It is definately at the upper limit of my price range, but I can't pass this one up. Should be here within the week.

I saw two at R/C Country in Sacramento yesterday.  Still waiting for HLJ to ship the one I have on order with them.

Mine arrived on Monday (from scalehobbyist for $58.99) and I agree it looks like a home run. I'd also like to hear from anyone who is starting theirs soon because I can't get to mine for several weeks or more. 

Pics!  Jealous
