I guess the good news is that there aren't many parts. The bad news is that they are so tiny! I will stick with taking pictures.

I like the box art. I have been looking for P-38s in this size to build 2 Squadrons in formation from a photo I saw.

I'll make the shots nice and big so you wont need glasses of any kind!

here is what I was working on the other day which I thought was a candidate for Njaco's thread...amazing jaw dropping pics...

YES... I cut all the masks one at a time tiny as they are and applied them!!
It took me over an hour to do them all with a few shape and sizing errors discarded and repeated to get it right....I know, I know.. Crazy B*stard...

and thanks for your comments, Guys!
