Re: Tamiya P-38
To paraphrase Rene Descartes (Descartes before Deshorse)
"I think, therefore I will probably screw it up"
I chose not to add the superchargers at this point, since it would be a nightmare to mask them off later. I've also left off a couple of other pieces as well.
Started the right boom assy this morning. Somewhat fiddley, but even at that, the pieces all fit perfectly when you got them in position, and stayed put while you applied your cement of choice. I was amazed. But there is a caveat for me. When there are more than one assembly sequence that is the same (or, two or more), the first usually goes swimmingly and the second goes in the dumpster. I will have to be careful with this one.
Time to go fix lunch.

Just take your time Lyle, I'm sure it'll be fine!
Looking good thus far!

Thanks, Tom. Quite an interesting kit.

Re: Tamiya P-38
Progress is looking great Lyle! If the J superchargers are designed like the F/G you need to cut out that circle peg to get them to slide in later

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

Clint, thanks for the compliment! PM sent. Just tried them, perhaps Tamiya made a slight change? They dropped right in place! Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
