This morning I finally finished my build of the Academy 1/48 scale P-38L. For those that might be interested there is a full build blog in the "In Progress Pics" forum @

Joel your P-38 turned out beautiful. NMF schemes are always tough but you knocked this one out of the park. Thanks for sharing your build techniques as well in you WIP thread.

Falcon20driver,

Thanks so much for your more then kind thoughts. You've been a constant voice of encouragement from day one of the build, and it's been much appreciated. In a few days the next build starts: the GWH 1/48 scale F-15C. Really looking forward to it, as the kits looks incrediable.

My next build is none other then the GWH F-15C. The kit is loaded with detail, and looks fantastic. Gonna be a fun build for sure.

SWEET! Great job Joel. Your NMF tuned out really good and the overall build is terrific.

Chuck,

Thank you so much appreciating my efforts throughout the build as well as the NMF on the P-38L. As I I said, it was quite a learning experience guided by my brother Peter, who your familiar with on LSP. His 3 1/32 scale P-51Ds are in a class by themselves.
