BlackSheep214 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I've heard very good things on the Tamiya P-38 Lightning kit. One of the better Lightning kits out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFrancois70 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Awesome! I built the "Glacier Girl" version few years ago, not an easy kit to build. Your paint job is extremely well done. Perfect color on the exhaust/ turbocharger, and very nice canopy / cockpit! The P-38 Lightning is famous in France because Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the author of "The Little Prince" was flying one when he disappeared over the Mediterranean sea in 1944. You can read about it here: https://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/11/world/europe/11exupery.html https://www.ww2wrecks.com/portfolio/luc-vanrell-the-story-behind-the-discovery-of-antoine-de-saint-exuperys-p-38-lightning/ And if you haven't read "The Little Prince", please do. It really isn't a book for children.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
