I am here starting another model, maybe the last of 2018 (before Christmas in December). This will be a 1/72 P-38, strongly modified. The kit content is surprising, like almost finished before building, and I will have to truncate all in deep butchery. It is hard for me to take pictures and all (checking the kit name and so on), as I just come from hospital, having been operated and I feel bad, sorry, with bad news like a trauma. If my death is soon maybe I will build a last model after this one, we will see.
The project here may be an asymmetric Lightning, push-pull on the port side, with 2 booms as parts of sprues on the starboard side. To be confirmed.
:smiley: ???

Something like that but in plastic and sky blue:
-
Like this maybe:

I had no idea you were having surgery, mon ami and I wish you the fastest of recoveries!
I really like this one. It's like they took that Blohm and Voss asymmetric aircraft to the next level.
Will watch with interest,

Thanks!
Here is the kit, Hobby-Boss, that I will use:
-
And the start is normal, before truncations...
-
Then the butcher came and... a slaughter happened :( ;)
-
That's some fine kit surgery, mon ami and those cuts looks very well placed indeed.
Thank you for the play-by-play!

Thanks!
Well, I was a little sad to have destroyed the twin-boom layout, but it soon comes back:
-
That's good progress, mon ami!
A bit of assembly and you'll be ready for paint.
I think this one's going to be especially delightful.

Thanks!
While... bedore assembly, I have PSR work to perform, see?
-
Sanding restores smoothness but shows holes also, so: PSR again...
-
That's coming together quite well, Tophe!
I especially like your work on the engine.
You have incredible PSR skills, mon ami!

Thanks again.
Now near completion:
-
Thanks for the update, mon ami!
I really like seeing your delightful models being built!

-
as incredible as usual ;D
(by the way, I used the same P38 kit recently ... wait and see)
-
Sorry to hear you were in the Hospital - hope you are on your way to a full recovery.
Build looks interesting - looking forward to your progress.
-
Thanks!
Well, the tail part was finished, all glued (fins, booms, tailplane), then when I took it in my fingers all broke in 5 parts... :(
And I am building it all again, with reinforcement to hold that in place.
-
I'm glad to see you persevering Tophe.
It looks like you're getting very close to getting this one done.

I think I will finish today (photographs tomorrow after drying) but maybe you will never see this, as I may leave BTS forever, disgusted by the propaganda for war towards Korea, deleting any other point of view.

You can't leave now, Sir Xtophe...I just got back here!

Don't leave Toph, in the short time I have been with this forum you have given me numerous ideas for kit bashes and revivals from death row, besides I like the way your mind works.
Looking foward to seeing this project finished.
Get well soon.
