    Just an amazing build. It is quite common with the case of such models like P-38, B-24 Liberator, B-25 Mitchell to be habitual tail-sitters. Its from my experience through, as I had built the B-25 in the past. But, anyhow its a modeller's true skills and technical expertise that comes into paly at solving such situations, which you have done amazingly. 😊🤗👍

    Wonderful and precise build..!!! It was a relief to learn that you managed the nose weight on this "tail sitter" ....60 grams...wow.... About a month back, I sent you pictures of my P 38 build to your e-mail. Maybe, it went into your junk folder.... I believe the Pacific theatre(Guadalcanal) units of the US Air Corps were all meant for high speed interception and not for ground attack. Hence, no pylons/pods were in place for bombs or rockets.... All in all....Great work...!!!!

  • @harjindersokhi9852
    @harjindersokhi9852Ай бұрын

    Excellent build, great work. The reason why you couldn’t find instructions for the rockets is due to this variant of the P-38 not being able to carry them. Later variants carried the “Christmas tree” rocket pylons. Keep up the great work.

    Great build! The engine with the added wires looks impressive. I had the same problem with the engine and the fuselage - I wanted the cowling closed, so I just left the engine out. The undercarriage doesn’t look right. The legs should slope forward a bit. Is it possible that you have the legs reversed - i.e. the right leg on the left side and vice versa? I’m looking forward to your next video.

    A very rugged workhorse of the RAF in the late 30s-40s. A bit of history which I can recollect.... Eight Indians were trained as Hurricane fighter pilots and flew in RAF squadrons in the Battle of Britain.. Two noteworthy ones...Mahinder Singh Pujji and H S Malik. Hurricane squadrons were raised in India in June 1942 for the Burma campaign for recon and ground attack. Of particular mention was the 1944 Arakan front where Indian pilots were awarded the DFCs and many mentioned in despatches..ACM Arjan Singh was one....

    I have made 3 of this kit and it is a lovely build so I'm sure you'll have fun. I'm not sure how it could be squeezed into anything relating to D Day though - Mark 1s had long gone by then and the Mark 2 is a notably different shape and even they were only used in secondary duties during the invasion. But, paint anything in the grey/green camo with stripes and it would look right, even if it isn't!

The models that I choose tend to have a story with them as it makes it so much more interesting. For example there are plenty of second world war destroyers, but HMS Campbeltown has an exciting story to go with it so that's the one I got.

    Agree...these comics were freely available till the late 60s, when I was about 10 yrs old, mostly second hand ones left over by the British or in second hand book stores or some libraries. Mostly, I realise now, it was Allied propaganda ...Germans were called "kraut" or "jerry". Don't remember much except""bandits....6'00 clock""...They almost vanished in the 90s...the last ones...moldy and moth eaten , were recovered by me, for my son, from an old books junk dealer from the market opposite the then Super Bazar in Con Place, Delhi.
