A very nice set of kits there Tommy. That JS3 is a real bugger in World of Tanks!

Thanks John, I've been after one for a very long time, and as you say, you don't tend to see many of them about, that's why when this popped up, I made sure I got it

Well if you want any tips, feel free to ask. I'm by no means a great player (hand eye coordination suffers in one's 6th decade!), but I enjoy having a bash!

Got this yesterday, as I'm selling all of my 1/24 & 1/25 car kits and plane kits due to lack of display space.....

Just £5.99 on ebay UK.

Arrived today, and in this day and age of manufacturers producing kits with 47 zillion parts in the mistaken belief that we like them more, check this one out:

How about this? No wing/fuselage joints or wing/nacelle joints and no boom alignment problems. The seam between top and bottom halves is practically invisible when dry fit so should be a piece of cake to clean up. OK, you can't position flaps or ailerons, but I personally wouldn't consider that to be any sort of deal breaker.

One-piece rudders.

[ATTACH]280876[/ATTACH]

One-piece rockets with just a tiny mould seam to clean up. No gaps to fill or fins to align.

[ATTACH]280877[/ATTACH]

One-piece engine covers so no seams apart from the vertical one joining them to the nacelles.

My pics don't show it, but panel lines and rivet detail are there and finely recessed. The cockpit interior has separate sidewalls and looks busy - although there are no seat belts. A decal is provided for the IP.

I can't speak for the accuracy of the size and shape, but it sure looks like a P-38 to me.

This won't be a kit for the super modellers out there who like lots and lots of fiddly details, but to me it looks just fine. So fine in fact, it's jumped its way to the very top of my 'to do' list once I've finished the GBs I've got on the go.

There's a build video (I couldn't find the link to part one - the OOB review - even though I saw it the other day):
