A pair of Academy P-38's for Tom

Decided for this build to go back to enamels for the paintwork - Heresy, I know, but I still love working with oil-based paints, and especially so as there's no 'deadline' to get this done, so waiting for the paint to dry/cure isn't any sort of issue.

So the whole top-side is lightly sprayed with Xtracolour 'American Interior Green'. Hopefully it will make a good base for the pre-shading and then the top-coats and hopefully some more will 'happen' tomorrow.

Any interest in a pair of booms for a P-38F? I got them awhile back intended to try converting the 1/48 Monogram J to an F but, decided not to. The booms are resin.
 
Masked ready for stripes - how much 'fun' do you think this was :java

Used some Mr. Surfacer 1200 to check seam lines and gaps. got some touch up to do before getting to the colors.
 
...and now, as if by magic, the stripes have (sort of) disappeared :eek:hmy:
