Thank you all once again for your comments...

A little progress in this post, just made a change at the camo pattern, this time the borders between the two colours are less sharp. I am wondering if this really an improvement or not... any thoughts? The colours are the same, just the photo is a bit more bright this time...

You've got skills mate , Wish I could do interior work to that standard

 

[Wayne Little]

Looks real good mate. I like it!

 

[Wurger]

Keep them comming.

 

[Lucke.stz]

good job !! Congratulations...

Just one tip, paint alwys the darker color in last, in your case, the brown first, and the green after. this produces really good results....

Best regards,

Lucas

The demarcations between the colors look fine. I wouldn't get too worked up about that sort of thing in any case; most of the time the guys painting the real thing did what they could with what they had, and neatness didn't always count, if you see which way I'm drifting.

I really like the scheme a nice change from the OD ar Silver finish.I would have to differ from Eighth on the demarcation though only for scale reasons.The bigger the scale to me at least the more one might notice the blur.Nice build,nice plumbing and nice paint!

Excellent model. Having just finished an XP-38 myself, I know how hard you worked on those nacelles.

 

[Wayne Little]

Time for a progress update, I think?

Time for a progress update, I think?

I was just about ready to post my lateset update.... I have only bits and pieces left, like the wheel bay doors, various antenas and pitot tubes as well as a few more details in the cockpit.

I guess that my next update will be the last one... until then have a look at these photos I took last night.

Thank you all guys for your interest and your encouraging comments

That is looking VERY smart! Not the easiest type to make, I know, as I'm just finishing a P38J (Academy also.)

Thank you Javlin.. The aircraft at the bottom is a Ju-88A4, Revell 1/48.. I guess the photo is a bit small.. Anyway if you are still interested i have more photos of it..

Once again thank you all for your comments
