Now, part of the sanding is done, and additional putty is on, and the MEL-38G with tanks is almost complete (what is the engine of it? shhht, this is top-secret electromagnetic force)... one P-82 canopy will remain and this is good for asymmetry that I strongly like...

the "vehicle" made with the tanks and radar pod looks great

Feel free to use any idea, there is no patent at all, just the joy to share. But... this is crazy idea, don't lose your mental sanity...

After sanding... then putty on again...

After sanding the P-82 fuselages and gluing the propellers + adding putty on the P-38 booms and wings, the result was this:

Then after sanding the P-38 wings and booms + gluing their propellers and external tailplanes + the main airframe, the result is now this, close to completion...

That's looking really good, Tophe!

I have a feeling this may be one of your best gems yet!

Many thanks for the updates, mon ami!

it is looking good ! keep on going !

Tophe · « **Reply #34 on:** January 28, 2017, 02:37:10 AM »

Thanks! I have glued the booms and reinforced them but I hold the model by one of the fuselages to be sure not to beak all down...

That's some extensive PSR work there mon ami and I'm beyond impressed!

It's a real treat to see your incredible concepts take shape!

Thanks.
The canopies are now on, ready for the first layer of paint. Completion in less than 1 month probably.

Ooohhh the little one is sooooo cuuuuute !!!

This project of yours comes out well Cristophe,I love it !

Tophe · « **Reply #38 on:** January 29, 2017, 05:40:55 PM »

Thanks!
The models are now painted with the first layer. Including canopies (that will be pen-colored black at the end, because no seat/cockpit done). I have no more paint but it is in order, to be sent Monday (Humbrol or else are not available in my little town).

That's looking great, Tophe!

I think you're very close to finishing up a real winner and one of your best yet!

Tophe · « **Reply #41 on:** February 05, 2017, 05:25:46 PM »

Thanks!
Now the 2 models are almost complete. Just finishing remains to be done: blue cover of a few black excessive spots, gluing the 2 broken blades, and that will be done!

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #42 on:** February 05, 2017, 10:03:04 PM »

I really like how you used the same color for the props and canopies, Tophe! This creates a visual symmetry that pulls everything together.

Tophe · « **Reply #43 on:** February 07, 2017, 11:43:00 PM »

Thanks!
The models are now finished (my way, with never undercarriage nor roundel...)

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #44 on:** February 08, 2017, 06:36:08 AM »

This is one of my all-time favorites of yours, mon ami!

I especially like those canopy frames. Compliments the fantastic designs perfectly!

Wonderful all the way, Tophe!
