Scale - 1/48

Here's my 1/48 P-38J "Droop snoot". Built OOB and painted with Tamiya spray cans and paintbrushes. This was my first model in a long while and thoroughly enjoyed it, accuracy and lots of detail was not my goal with this one - just fun. Hope you enjoy.

Oh you'll see, you say that now but 2 models later you'll be spending 2 years perfecting a drab cockpit hoping to make it look amazing even if it is a sparse machine hehehe
