Tamiya P-38L

Hello, I finally finished the Tamiya P-38L after a 9 months slog. It’s my first all metal finish and was very frustrating so I will not venture this way again. Lol

I added the Reskit 3d printed interior which is quite amazing but the fit was not great and requires much grinding of the resin interior sides and floor for it to fit correctly.

Hope you like it.

Based on the outcome, don’t shy away from more metal finished kits. Your looks very good.

Appreciate it. Getting a smooth finish was giving me fits. Lol. I have a P47 on my shelf that I have a bar metal scheme for.

Looks well done. I wouldn’t quit on NMF aircraft. It only gets easier. What did you use for the NM?
