Nice! I love P-38s. Did Eduard use the Academy molds?

Well worth the wait Vic!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Many thanks folks, you're all too kind.

OOOOHHHH! Love it.

Are the prop spinners painted or decals? Jeff

A bit of both Jeff, the red and white part are decals though under them I did paint white and I also painted the blue part of the spinner.

Nice! I love P-38s. Did Eduard use the Academy molds?

Sorry, can't answer that one Slam as I've no idea. Maybe one of the other forum boffins will be able to chip in with the answer.

Thanks a bunch gents, it's nice to have it finished and out of harm's way in a display cabinet.

Did Eduard use the Academy molds?

Yes , the Eduard kits are based on Academy plastic parts.. But all additional resin and PE pieces are of Edurad.

Nicely done Vic, and it's reminded me to add the last few finishing touches to my Academy P-38 - built about six years ago !
