P-38J-15-LO, s/n 42-68004, flown by 1st Lt. Clark R. Livingston, 392nd FS, 367th FG, Juvincourt AB, France, December, 1944

Finished yesterday - the plastic on this kit fought all the way. Having  built the Academy kit before I didn't have the problems before so it seems to have been a 'Friday afternoon before going home' kit.  The Eduard Resin is very nice, but the instructions and fit could be better - this is compounded by the P-38 being a very awkward shape. 
 
Painted with Gunze Aqueous and Alclad and lightly post shaded with Model Mates. Glad this is done now - next up will be some nice relaxing Tamiya therapy :-)

Finished today, Revell's new tool FW-190 F8, with Eduard Brassin Cockpit (which is brilliant), and HGW Fabric belts which I only bought when I lost one of the PE belts from the Brassin set.  The kit is about a 7 of 10 - Nice detail in places, but some parts especially the control surfaces are simplified. I also had issues with the Undercarriage snapping. I had to drill and pin the main landing gear struts. Painted with Gunze throughout, with Oil weathering Peter
