                        Painklr, there's plenty of room in this build for everyone. You're welcome to join. The more, the merrier. As to who's running this build, well, that's kinda up in the air still. It's either modelingmonkey or platinumhw, I think. Trk69drvr and boogie bear both seemed to have fallen off the face of the earth. So who knows.

                        Is there still room for this build? And who is running it? I am interested in joining with a P-61. A was building one about a year ago and came to a halt when I was going through a divorce. I tried to finish it, but chunked it. (bad memories). Got a new one, and I am ready to give it another try.

                        I guess I could run this build, that is if someone will design a badge, and give me the URL code(I can't make a badge with my computer). If no one objests to this all I need is the go-ahead, and I'll start.

                        I guess I'm could join, I just started a P-38 kit 2 weeks ago, I'm doing the Night Fighter version. Does that count? Or no, since I started it already (and almost have it done).

                        Yeah, I built it when I was inexperienced; it was one of my first painted models. It looks bad because I used too much glue, and it badly fogged the windows; but in retrospect you can't see the poor job I did on the cockpit because of it.

                        Yes they all have there problems. have a 71 cuda almost done and found out today the dash is not even close to a fit. It is so far off that I would swear it is from a totaly different kit. I wonder if trumpeter makes a P61. mmmmm need to go to the hobbie store and shop a littleBig Smile [:D]Big Smile [:D]

                        I built the Revell-Monogram 1/48 scale kit several years ago. It was a fairly decent kit, but it could use a little detailing work. (don't all kits, though?)

                        Ooops! I was slightly mistaken about the kit. The kit I have is not the Hasegawa kit per se but the Revellogram ProModeler re-boxing of that kit.
