Another thumbs up! Very cool project.

Super awesome P-38! Thanks for letting us follow along.

Thanks guys... glad you enjoyed...

Hey P38';

You are absolutely right; what a great blast from the past and walk down Memory Lane!!  'The last mystery touch: I got stumped......How could we ever forget the big Confederate flag, flying from the radio antennae?  I'm still waiting to see if you add the spectre of JEB Stuart, as he renders sage advice on warfighting from a cavalryman's perspective.....it seemed that no matter what advice he got, JEB always ended up in the thick of things, fighting his own Yellow Tavern, but always making it through, somehow, to live on in the next issue.......

Thanks for the memories!!!  

Congrats on getting this one done and fully crewed! A neat idea from start to finish.

Thanks again Bill & Dave,, glad u enjoyed the build,,

Aarg!! i missed final pictures.. excellent loooong work man 

lol. thanks guys !

If any one is going to Granite Con, Sunday in Nashua NH, JEB and crew will be there...

Back from Granitecon,, with a 3rd Please shiny !

Awesome P-38! I love the pictures of the tank with the covers of the comics! Was that the Unknown Soldier? Thanks for the whole WIP, it was a pleasure to watch come together.
