Pantero80Oh yeah... 🤦🏽♂️ Well, I've tried a couple of different ways to include a comment and pictures at the same time. My wall is going to be messier than my model 😄

Most of the painting is complete! I took 2 or 3 weeks to prepare most of the internal pieces, and sometimes applied a matt or gloss clear coat, depending on its visibility and purpose in the car. I kept the pieces attached to the frame to make painting and handling easier, as I'm not used to this. I know some will need retouching after being detached. I'll paint the exterior last, and attach the windows afterwards. I'm not aiming for perfection, I'm just enjoying the process!

BetterTimes-HenryLooks great. I have the kit in my stash, will have to build it soon 👍

Desert MarlinAfter two hours, the whole cockpit, wings and "fuselage" were together. I got totally sucked in after the first two hours and it really got in the way of other projects! So fun!!!

Desert MarlinBiggest issue is the choice of D-Day markings. The white bands are 60 mm on each wing and on the booms. This makes the individual stripes 12 mm. Pretty easy once you see it. I started out with 50 mm white band. That was clearly too short.

Desert MarlinModel Master Neutral Gray on the underside and Vallejo 71.043 (US Olive Drab) on top. Lots of Tamiya Panel Line accent black overall.

Desert MarlinI have seen claims that Olds first two kills were in this specific aircraft.

Gary VictoryReally nice work DM....Lovely build.
Best story around Robin Olds in a P-38 was that he got behind a flight of 109's.....he was ready to open fire when his engines cut - dead. He had forgot to switch tanks to his internals when he jettisoned his external tanks. Instead of resolving his fuel transfer issues he just carried on lining up on the 109 and shot it down while in 'glide mode'. That's calmness under pressure for you.

Never a ProGreat build! The nose wheel is up, does the the nose weight ball included in the kit need to be reinforced with extra lead?
17 October, 07:04
Desert MarlinThanks all…
The nose wheel appears elevated because I use a sheet of glass on my bench. The glass is 1/4" thickness.

Desert MarlinNow if I can get my antenna insulators to compare with Bernhard Schrock's Sea King! Definitely a worthy target!

George AdamopoulosGreat result! Congratulations!
After reading Olds' biography, I have just started building the same kit, although I plan to do the narural metal version. How were the decals from kitsworld? Are they ok or do they require special attention?

Desert MarlinHi George. I would be careful with the KitsWorld decals. They really don't have much film on them. I recommend getting the decal placed and see if it needs any attention after it dries. Aggressive setting solutions are not needed. Go slow!

Mark SherwoodAh, Ha DM! (Referencing Danger Mouse UK TV Cartoon) That is a lovely build of Robin Old's P38. 👍🥸🤘
