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. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 SWEET! Great job Joel. Your NMF tuned out really good and the overall build is terrific. Chuck 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.
