    Hi all, I really hope You all are safe and doing well! Just to say hi, I was quite busy for other stuff in life but I was able to finish few builds started in the past ;) . About the kit, very nice kit I can recommend it highly. The P-38F version was also nice but it was 100% clean build for other purposes last year so this one is with heavy weathering. Please take care and all the best for You!! Dusan.
    PS; I will try to answer questions from previous videos soon.

    What an outstanding kit. This is why Tamiya is respected by modelers around the world. Their attention to detail and their ability to engineer a molding process that ensures a secure, easy fit is unrivaled. I built a lesser kit years ago but will try again with this one.👍

    Have watched all of your videos, Dusan - but this has raised the standard above anything that you've shared on YT before... it could be because I'm a massive fan of the P-38 as a subject but honestly I believe it's more than that. Truly one of your very best.

    I stopped building kits 15 plus years ago. Now getting close to retirement I've started getting the urge to see if I still have my skills to start again although my eyesight isn't what it used to be. I really enjoy watching you're videos which are giving me a big incentive to re ignite the flame. My skillset was nowhere near yours but was enjoyable looking at the end result once built. Keep em coming. Great stuff.

    I'm building this kit now. It really is the best engineered kit I've ever seen. It's also clearly engineered to produce later model Lightnings. I expect a J/L kit in the future.

    The P38 was Legendary.Amazing Model. They was at Navy too.In Blue with white underside.And the Exaust Streaks was Yellow,because the US Fighters like Corsair or Hellcat had Fuel with much Sulfur.It looks petty good.

  • @DavidTurner1

    My grandfather built P-38's during the war.

  • @brettpeacock9116
    @brettpeacock9116 3 роки тому

    A couple of helpful hints for anyone making this kit.
    1/ IF a P-38 was delivered painted, so were the undercarriage bays - usually in the interior colour, and sometimes in the underside colour. Those machines delivered in Natural Metal (J & L models), generally, had Natural Metal undercarriage bays. Tamiya based their paint scheme instructions on a modern warbird.
    2/ In 1940 and 41 Lockheed had no major USAAF contracts. Most of their aircraft production was given over to aircraft being sent to the UK under Lend-Lease and the majority of their military paint stocks were actually Dupont made RAF Equivalent colours (For planes like the Hudson and Ventura and Lodestar. This information was taken from Inventories found in Lockheed's own records) During the development of the Lighning (1939-41) and the first 2 production models, (P-38E &F) these paint stocks were being used to paint the planes, so the correct colours on any F model are Dupont RAF Dark Green (NOT Olive Drab) and Dupont RAF Medium Sea Grey - NOT Neutral Grey. They interior colour was the same bright "Apple Green" that was used on the Lockheed Hudson which was Dupont's (bad) version of RAF Interior Grey Green.
    The famous P-38 F named "Glacier Girl" excavated from the Ice in Greenland wore these colours abut when restored was given the standard USAAF Olive Drab/Neutral Grey & Interior Green finish. There are some good colour images (Not colourised) that show F model P-38s with a darker, greener finish and lighter undersides.. I currently own 2 of the F/G kits and their later limited edition H kit, all of which I intend to build, the H will end up and one of Lt Richard I Bong's rides.
    BTW Dusan - That is a AMAZING JOB on your P-38G kit.. One of the best I have ever seen.

    My favorite aircraft design from WW2. I have always thought it was one of the most unique designs of fighter aircraft to date with the double-boom construction. Those nose cannons were deadly from what I've read and the P-38 had plenty of them. Very nice build video. I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you.

      A few are available on Ebay, starting price £10.00 which is about $12.40.

    Great job on the pit, IP looks real good, booms came out sweet. The only thing I don't like about this kit, the lack of details in the gun bay. That's a serious display of model building patience {all the tape work}. You went all out on this kit! I do prefer one piece tires. Turbo chargers are special! They add a very realistic touch. This came out real sharp! I think one of your best! All the effort paid of in spades! BEAUTIFUL 38! CONGRATS!

    Tamiya isn’t as easy as they say, “just pour glue and paint in the box, shake it and you’re done” but they give you great quality and detail to start with. Add some aftermarket detail kits to a savvy builder, and museum quality is attainable. Would be cool on future build videos to show lit parts next to detail up parts so viewers can see the difference between what is stock and what the detail parts will add. I thought the supercharger in the kit looked fine, so I’m not sure what the extra money for the Eduard parts gets you. The cockpit and other details look worth the money.
