Floki made me order the Tamiya P-38] kit. It is on him!
I ha e the old Monogram/Revell kit. I’ve dug it out a few times and promptly put it back on the shelf. I’ve been wanting this one sine not long after it came on the scene.
Lots to like, very little to nor like (if anything) to dislike.
It came today.
Wow! Proper nose weights.
A bunch of pieces for me to lose.
Canopy masks.
Nice decals.
Well packaged.
Gorgeous color scheme sheets. Look to be full size.
I do wish the instructions had a sprue map, though.
But, WOW!
Oh my, what a loverly kit!

Nice score Lyle!
I have the earlier release and it's wonderful - what I've built so far in the cockpit fell together. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Lucky you! How many limbs and other such appendages did it cost you?

I take full responsibility! It's a very beautiful kit.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Tony, I don't think I've ever seen color scheme pages in that size. Pretty cool. That is a pretty good idea, to hang it up later.
