Thanks guys!
I'm curious to know how the Academy kits build.
What are you finding?

Its a nice kit, fits well and is painting up well, a little dull being all black though.
I've heard the landing bay doors aren't the best but I'm not there yet!

Hello!

Academy kit is overall much better, except canopy, landing gear insides and air intakes below spinners- they are more accurate in Dragon kit. I've made one Academy P-38 last year, using Dragon decals. Needed some little changes to "L" version, of course.

Thanks for the tip!
