Lansen is at very end of work so I can start this kit too. It look like easy to make, after completing all of PE and resin inside. Most resin come in cockpit, PE are everywhere, new set I get is mostly for landing gear and exterior.

Great No.1

Some tips about landing gear interiors colors. If you apply Olive Drab/Neutral Gray camo, landing gear bays and legs were painted in Neutral Gray (most of references indicate Interior green or Green Zinchromate, sometimes just landing gear covers bay were painted in inside section, not all bays).
If you painted in Natural Metal Finish, you can apply same overall color with some ducts in yellow zinchromate, and it is possible to paint landing gear leg in Neutral grey in early -J models. Also, some of them had seat, seat frame and armor plate painted in Olive Drab. Cockpit color was standarized to cover overall Interior Green color from middle -J to L version.

I will follow you in this threat........... :)

I am back to this project. My final decision is to do camouflage sample and this work present basic painting and shading of the cockpit interior. More work need to be do on this area and I think I can handle this today.

Good progress!

My father used to tell me how much they liked seeing the P-38 fly overhead in North Africa--since there was nothing else shaped like it they always knew it was one of theirs!
