model;Lockheed P.38J Lightning
kit;Frog
scale;1/72nd
accessories;soob plus scratch built cockpit and undercarriage detailing
I have a soft spot for these as well but more the kit than the aircraft type again one of the 1st kits i built as a child 40 plus years ago,my 3rd entry, i do plan to add a 4th entry my fav plane of all time if i feel i can do it justice,if not i will keep it to the 3 ,let see how this one turns out
lots of sink marks in this kit
i made a small cockpit with sides from card and painted it interior green,then made a dash again from card using cotton bud sticks cut into dash instruments as the sticks are hollow
the dash was then painted black and white paint was dropped into the cotton bud stick pieces and then covered with clear vanish to look like glass
this was then fitted a long with some more card and shaped sprue to make the throttle control and side panels to the cockpit
then using a paperclip and some card i made a small joy stick
thats all the progress so far on this one as it now needs to dry out before going any further,
thanks for looking
