Aircraft Modeling / Re: P-38 Lightning Eduard 1/48

No.1

I have no serial numbers, I found some references in photos and a text that explain this. I will check them and I will tell you. I can tell you that I have found pictures from model P-38J-15 in Interior Green, so I consider this as reference. Let me check it. By the way, what version will you do? I have it, so I can look for it.

Another point about Minicraft model, you need to sand off (to get flat) oval mirrors (polished metal) in engine nacelles. I don't know Minicraft do this, and if your P-38 is a J-25 to model L, you can leave compresibility flaps on the wings. They are molded, but in early models (before J-20), is important to remove them.

Well, I check my books tonight, and tomorrow I scan them.

See you :)

Very nice No.1

A interesting point is that early -J productions model had seat subassembly (seat, seat support and bulletproof back plate) in Olive Drab. In middle production was changed to Interior Green....

Thanks, and my best wishes for all you in this New Year, Mates!!

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........... :)

Scott,

Great, nice to see your Kingfisher in land-plane version. Kingfisher is and interesting airplane that there is a few references. I have Dana Bell's book where you can find a lot of details never described before in one publication (all together).
México had Kingfisher on WWII, serving on Mexican Navy. Float and land version, let ask for a photo of them to publish it here.

See you

Now......

Masks off!! :-jump

When I removed some masking tape fine strips, I found some glue traces. To eliminate them, I used a piece of blue masking tape touching it, then it was removed little by little without any damage.... 






















Also, I found some problems in white srips that I painted first.....I will fix them, to continue..........

I hope posting more next week.........

See you!!

Dear friends,

I'm back. I have had a lot of work in my job. Then, I was tired to continue with my models and posting here.

Well, some photos about last color applied, Vert (green)

To paint this color, I placed second part of templates, covering Red brown color.

Curving paper helps reducing gap between model surface and template. I used blue masking tape to cover templates joints in order to avoid over-spray (mist).



















Paint mixture was gloss clear + Vert + lacquer thinner (20:20:60). Model Master's Vert (well, marked as Khaki) is flat, so trying to get a shiny finish I adding more gloss clear, same volume of paint, and I diuted this mixture more to apply thin coats........
