Spectacular work Nigel.
Another winner on Harvey's ceiling.
I just finished watching a mini documentary about some of the pilots of the Lightening that shot down Admiral Yamamoto in WWII.
Now I have a better view of your build.
Excellent stuff!!

Cheers guys really enjoyed this build and can highly recommend the kit. Well apart from the decals (but I might have had a bad batch).

Lovely work on the P-38, Nigel as far as the decals go the Academy Kits are known to have a certain issue when it comes to their decals like the tendency to silver as was experienced in my case with the P-51.however their kits are a sheer joy to put together considering the level of detail they offer.Good job once again mate. :th:

Thank you mate. Yeah see went together like a dream then the decals played up but that's the only down side of this build.
