The Devil is coming

[AcWai]

"Gabelschwanzteufel" is coming soon. Wishing you a Happy New Year!

We have just finished building this aircraft. I have just finished painting this paint scheme based on UncleTgt's template. UncleTgt still needs to tune the airfile and tests it in a mission. There are still a lot of work left.

UncleTgt is busy painting a whole bunch of (>>10) new paint schemes. He will post some his favorite soon.

As Andrew says. still plenty to do. As you can see, the VC environment is just stunning

Amazing pictures! What a beautiful airplane!

This looks like it will replace the BR2 P-38J that I have.

Any thoughts as to include the P-38L?

Thanks for all the nice comments.

There is a P-38L with animated dive speed brakes. UncleTgt is currently painting the L series.

I am painting a new paint scheme, it is not for intended the P-38L.

and the first completed P-38L...

That is one smart looking ship!

Another PTO L-model Lightning...

Andrew. Can you include my FIL's P38L "Jane"?

Lt. John “Ray” Johnson’s “Fighting Cocks” P-38L-1 Sep 1944 – Mar 1945

UncleTgt is fullfilling your wish, he is painting it now.

I just watched this documentary in Youtube:

This movie shows that the P-38 has a different cockpit.

It looks like I need to rebuild the VC cockpit. I had originally built it based on this photo (fktzfsvvsxyb1.jpg). The cockpit in the AAF Manual 51-127-1 is shown in image2.jpg.
