Hello Kroolo,

very nice Work, I love the open hatches with the machine-guns, great work at the ammunition.

Did you experience any problem during the build?

I had a few problems with fit the cover and its formers - former should be moved for 1mm - its thickness, at the engine fuselages. Also i had some cutting with conopy of mg hatch: it was ~1mm too big. Furthermore the fit is ok and i recommend this kit if we want to have a p-38 on the shelf
Mine and my friend relation from build this model is at this link.

:polish: Czesc kroolo,

bardzo czysto zbudowany "diabel z rozwidlonym ogonem" (, bo tak nazywali pioci Luftwaffe Lightninga). Co mi osopiscie sie podoba na zdjeciach tego modelu, to otwarta skrzynia amunicyjna z przodu kadluba przed kabina pilota oraz profile opon. Poza tym moge po raz pierwszy widziec roznice w gotowym Lightningu z WAK'u i nowego Lightninga Halinskiego, ktorego aktualnie buduje...

pozdrowienia

deutsch:
Hallo kroolo,

sehr sauber gebauter "Gaelschwanzteufel" (, weil die Piloten der Luftwaffe die Lightning so nannten). Was mir persönlich auf den Bildern des Modells gefällt, ist dier offene Waffenschacht im Vorderbereich des Rumpfes vor dem Cockpit und die Profile der Reifen der Räder. Außerdem kann ich zum ersten mal die Unterschiede an der fertigen Lightningvon WAK und der neuen Lightning von Halinski, die ich aktuell baue...

Thanks for friendly comments!

airgoon, no i don't repainted, it is from kit without changes and it is colour what You called olive brown/green. Only i painted parts with wood-protecting nitro-varnish ( in pl named "capon";) , what gave me a little better colours saturation. So that is possible that Yours kit is a misprint, beceause it is too brown i think.

Cze[ Kroolo,
jestes swietnym modelarzem z Polski (Wy tam chyba duzo kleicie?) Szkoda, ze Cie nie wylapalem na forum w Polsce - zostalem Twoim idolem Jako poczatkujacy modelarz mam pare pytan do mistrza:
- czy trzymasz skalpel miedzy kkciukiem i wskazujacym czy miedzy kciukiem i serdecznym palcem?
- czy dobrze jest kleic po obfitym obiedzie?
- co robisz jak skonczysz kleic?
- gdzie trzymasz niesklejone czesci (w szafce czy na polce)?
- czy to prawda, ze jak sie zakBada krawat, to sie równiej wycina czesci?

Z gory dziekuje za pomoc. Bede sledzil Twoje poczynania, bo jestes wybitnym mlodym modelarzem - wzoruje sie na Tobie.
Pozdrawiam
TAD
