Robin Olds P-38 J (1/48 Hasegawa)...

[lawdog114]

Hello, This is my first submission here. I figured I would start off with Robin Olds P-38J "Scat II" from his days with the 479th FG. Olds shot down a Bf 109 in glide mode in this plane. On August 25 1944, he jettisoned his fuel tanks but forgot to flip the switch to the internal tanks. He pounced but the plane stalled. He still managed to flame the 109 before restarting his engines. Here Scat is depicted just after D-day. Anyways, I used a True Details cockpit, Ultracast wheels and gun barrels. Paints are Tamiya and Gunze Aqueous for the Olive Drab. I painted in the Invasion Stripes.











Thanks for looking and comments are always welcome....
