Video build of the tamiya P-38

 Next to the F-4 & P-3A as my favorite aircraft is the P-38.  I have been in love with since I was a teenager. One of my neighbors was a P-38 pilot during WW2.   He was a great guy but his wife was a witch.  An english war bride.  Ted loved building model aircraft.  He had built the Monogram Ford Triplane.  And had displayed in the public library in our area.   The model had the dog sled and crew figures.   Later he built the monogram P-38.  I could see the love of the aircraft in his eye.   


  We all know that the tamiya P-38 is hands down the finest model of the aircraft.  Here is  video on building the model.

TBM video

 This two part video is a great video.   The modeler and historian's will love these.  The aircrew had to be men that where not very large in size.
