Whomever it was who was looking for a P-38 in 1:32 scale awhile back might want to look at the beautiful Academy 1:72 P-38J. It is the finest P-38 in any scale because all the others, regardless of scale, have big problems of one sort or another. Here is a review with images of the finished model. It is very impressive.

Commiserations on the Wellesley. As for Trumpeter, I was hoping for a 1/32 Blenheim myself.Originally posted by leitmotiv:
Re Wellesley, LF: I am not sure the model is worth the candle. It has lots of "issues". Unfortunately, the likelihood of another company making one is probably 0 (and the world definitely needs a new Whitley and Stirling and the odds of seeing one of these are not good unless Trumpeter comes to the rescue---T seems to have a fondness for British stuff).![]()
Hurri is looking good LowFlyer. And your Me109 too JG2.
I have been making some figures, 1/35 French resistance made by Masterbox. Here are 2 of them.
Ladies and gentleman, may I introduce madame Isabelle and m'sieur Pierre, from La Resistance

Pierre: Bonjour Isabelle!
Isabelle: Bonjour Pierre. Ca va?
Pierre: Ca va. By the way my darling. I have a BIG weapon. It is enormous. I bet you would be happy if you could play with it.
Isabelle: Promises, promises...
This Masterbox figure set is quite good. 4 members of resistance and a captured german officer. Just need to think what kind of diorama to build ... should it happen in town or in countryside, on the road or in some building?
Here we go for another step in the building report. Decals applied and drying. That evening the Tilda get a final coat of glossy clear to seal the decals. After that drybrushing, weathering, filtering and a leat a thick coast of desert sand.
P.S. I decided to have a rework on the drivers mirror. I scratchbuilt it with copper, bras parts and soldered them together (that was shi**y work accombanied by cursing)
