                        DAMNED.... pardon my french, I knew I forgot about a GB..... see that's what happens if the period between the idea and the execution of it is too long.

                        I'll have to rush to my lhs asap and just hope and pray that they have a Stuka... and than hope some more that I can get it done before the deadline.

                        Almost done. I thought I would be able to have it finished by Sunday. I decided to use the Kawasaki Ki-61-I Hien color scheme. I am very pleased how it came out. I am going to attempt to mask the canopy with Microscale's Micro mask. Masking canopies Banged Head [banghead] can be fustrating, however, patience is the key Smile [:)]

                        Excellent work UA! Nice camo job on that P-38 it's very attractive.

                        I'm curious too, did the Japanese ever capture one?

                        I'm not a member of this build, but pardon me.
                        how do you capture an a/c?
                        does one capture it by repairing the a/c when an enemy emergency lands?
                        BTW, ua0124, great build!

                        I do not recall ever reading where a P-38 was captured by the Japanese. To be honest I would need to do more reseach on that one.

                        Jinithith2, Glad you liked the build.Big Smile [:D]

                        Did some research on any captured P-38 . I have seen pictures of a captured B-17, P-51 and others, but no P-38. This is not to say the Japanese have never capture a P-38. I just have not found any proof yet.

                        Update on my build: The canopy was damaged when I spilled lacquer thinner on it. The canopy had a coat of Future. The reaction really did a number on it. Banged Head [banghead] After some sanding and buffing the canopy is still foggy. I am not sure why? I am going to order a new canopy set for this kit. I should arrive by next week.

                        ahh, thats too bad about the canopy!
                        Its probably a good thing that no Japanese ever got ahold of one. Seems like it would have been hard for them to get one when the air bases wwere on guarded islands.

                        I've finally gotten some good work done this weekend. I originally thought about doing a P-47 in German markings, but I changed to a Kawanishi Shinden Type 11 (George) in US markings. I saw an unusual picture in the book "Cockpit - An Illustrated History of World War II Aircraft Interiors" of a pair of these aircraft warming up and they are in US markings (Pgs 132-133). I don't have a camera yet, but plan on buying one Monday or Tuesday. I'll scan the picture form the book and then post pics of my model.

                        Hey,
                        Just got my new canopy set for this P-38. I know the deadline has come and gone, however I would like to post a final pic if you all do not mind.
                        Ernie If I can not do something about a problem, it's not my problem; it is a fact of life...

                        That's okay. I say if you started this build, keep going till you finish, and don't forget to post the pics along the way.
