    Tamiya 1/48 P-38 F/G LIGHTNING.

    My next project this one has been calling me for the last year and I have finally got round to making a start.
    I did make a muck of the IP panel so I brought after market one with seat belts to go with it.
    Here's what's in the box.Click image for larger version

      Nice
      I saw this one in my LHS just last weekend and was very tempted...but the price put me off,(about £64 if I remember correctly?!),looks a lovely kit mind, I'll follow your build with great interest Peter.
