Just in case you want to start early I did have walk around shots of the P-38 Ruff stuff. They even had a ladder out there that I kind of borrowed for a few shots

Excellent shots Paul, and that 'borrowed' ladder certainly allowed some good angles !

Coming up! The canopies are horrible but I started work on the Cockpit last night. Should be able to get some shots tomorrow of that. If I go near my bench today the wife has promised dire consequences!

Ooouuu, I wish the Ronin PR Nose had been released! I have a P-38 kit and RAAF decals set aside to make Lightning F-4 A55-1, with the solid green uppers - when the Ronin nose arrives. I KNOW there is the Red Roo option, but having seen Steve's mastering work for other items, and spoken to him about this project, it will eclipse the old faithful Red Roo conversion.

BUT, looking forward to what you do with his P-38

Thanks! That picture is unreal, its almost like they blew a photo up and shellacked it onto the plane.

Robert,

This is exactly what they did. It was so many decades ago that I read the story that I couldn't begin to find the reference but Marge's photograph was indeed shellacked onto Bong's mount.
