I like that you don't overdo the weathering. So many modelers make their aircraft look like it has never seen a day's worth of maintenance. And the fit on those gear doors...wow! I wish ALL manufacturers would use that system.
Дав вмдел сборку своими глазами , но хочется сказать что это невозможно! Добиватся такого уровня мастерства . Сколько же времени понадобилось чтобы достичь такого уровня. !!! Уважение Вам .
I dint model aircraft, but i love watching your videos. This one was great! It just break my heart to see all the AM additions to the cockpit and then having the canopy closed. Your attention to detail is outstanding.
Very clean build of a perfect Tamiya kit. They are so well molded and thought out there is no real challenge in building. Great for when you want to put your weathering skills to use.
Great video Luke.I honestly really Like this new video format with all the info on the side of the screen,because it helps so much if someone Like me wants to try and achieve a similar result.I am also nearly done with the Bf-109,just I need to do the exhaust staining,however I do not have the paints needed,so I might have to pop down into Hannants tommorow.Hope to see you soon! :)
When you think how hard it was to build the Hasegawa kit back then you can only praise Tamiya for the engineering work in designing parts. I am truly amazed even after 30 years of modeling under the belt.
I know Tamiya make excellent kits and i know that you do excellent builds but i was blown away by the engineering of this kit. The definition of "dont shake the box too hard or it'll assemble itself! And what a subject? I've got a pair in 1/72 to build so thanks for th inspiration.
Beautiful work on a beautiful kit. I love the P-38, I have built two Academy in 1/72 and I have six more in the stash. I really wish Tamiya would scale it down. And for four colour schemes I would buy four kits. What a wonderful hobby. Greetings from Portugal.
Another amazing video, Luke. Your model-making skills are getting better every time. But your video skills are getting even better. I love this, cant wait for the next one
Thoroughly interesting and enjoyable buld of a great subject and a brilliant video. Always liked the P38. Video format is so good - whats not to like. 😃😃
From across the pond, Salute! The Lightning is always a looker 👀. Another beautiful build. I like the new video format, layout, whatever you want to call it.
Absolutely smashing kit Luke! It’s amazing how accurate you can make a single model kit with all those fiddly details, and need I say that those superchargers made my jaw drop to the floor!😅 Great kit and a great builder means perfection and that’s what you have achieved right here!!
Beautiful build of a great aircraft! I am still impressed by the quality of this kit. Had so much fun building the G variant. The only thing missing for my taste is the rivet structure...thanks for sharing!
Appreciate the color callout graphic you made. Recently did a natural metal plane myself and photographing it I lose all the visual differences due to the camera sensor. This is a great guide for this plane, thanks for sharing your hard work again.
Too good once again. I don’t know how you pump these out so quick at such a high fidelity! Love the new stat cards in the bottom for paint pressure & thinning ratios too 🙌
Another outstanding presentation, Luke. You have taken, imo, what is arguably the finest representation of the P-38 in model form and taken it to the next level with those additional embellishments. Very well done. 👍
It looks really nice. I like the Mr. Color line and just recently purchased a number of their metalic colors. So i really appreciate your metalic finish on this aircraft using the variouse color. Oh, and masking the panels looks great. Thats something i will to remember. Thank you for the build video.
Hi Luke, the P-38 was absolutely stunning, congratulations on a job extremely well done, I have the OD scheme version and I hope I can do half as good as you have done, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les
Another great build Luke and it was nice to speak to you in Hannants the other weekend. Hannants is just amazing and well worth the trip from the East Midlands. Look forward to your next build. Jason 🇬🇧
Stunning. How you get your models so good is beyond me. Keep up this excellent channel. What do you do with all your models. Do you have them on show or dioramas?
Stunning build Luke! Really capturing the essence of less is more, some modellers go way over the top with weathering detail & destress detail, that whilst looks stunning, can make the model look too busy thus losing the overall effect. My only observation, would be to add some tyre squash effect, thats the only detail missing. Top job! 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hello Luke Very good job and really good video. I like thenew paint ratio cards. I must say and even if you cannot do nothing now at completed model that you missed to fill and sand a couple of panel lines on the booms. So, no medal for you 😂.
Hi ya Luke, She looks so sweet and I like the new video format, and my Tamiya P38F/G is starting to stare me down so she may have to be next once I finish the Airfix B-25 which is on the bench. I probably won't use any aftermarket as it has to come from Australia and may take about 3 weeks and I don't know if I can wait that long but we'll see.
Very nice. Seems to me your counter rotating props are set to turn inward, if my memory serves right, they both turned outward over the top. Front view: L prop turns counter clockwise and R prop turns clockwise.
Excellent as always just wish you would have done her as “Marge” bong is my favorite pilot of all time and the entire reason I love aviation and flying as much as I do
I haven't read all the comments yet so I don't know if it has been pointed out yet; you have the propellers switched. The starboard propeller is going clockwise ( aft looking forward) and the port propeller going counterclockwise. I know it does not make sense since an engine-out situation will be made so much worse but overall it makes the service-life of the airframe much longer and the comfort of the pilot that much better without the vibration caused by the propeller going past the cockpit-nacelle from top to bottom.
Amazing build. When you are gluing the internal parts after painting are you scraping the paint away or using super glue? If I glue my painted parts with Tamils extra thin it ends up a mess!
I like that you don't overdo the weathering. So many modelers make their aircraft look like it has never seen a day's worth of maintenance. And the fit on those gear doors...wow! I wish ALL manufacturers would use that system.
Some of those planes got pretty nasty during WWII

Great work, my man. The model looks well engineered, and you did it justice.

What a stunning thing you've created there!. That really is a beautiful looking piece of work. I'll never get tired of watching you do this. 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻
Nice building! And amazing voice, like a big cat talking😉 enjoy both😊
Thank you very much! Haha a cat??!!🤣

Maaaate, your builds and videos are getting better and better and better. Can sit and watch this all day with my baby boy 🤟
You never disappoint! Your P-38 is just stunning & your weathering is subtle, just enough. I love your supercharger too! Well done!
Appreciate the color callout graphic you made. Recently did a natural metal plane myself and photographing it I lose all the visual differences due to the camera sensor. This is a great guide for this plane, thanks for sharing your hard work again.
Thank you for this great, complete built ! Final result looks amazing !
Too good once again. I don’t know how you pump these out so quick at such a high fidelity! Love the new stat cards in the bottom for paint pressure & thinning ratios too 🙌
It's always a good day when a new mach models video drops! It's like an injection of modeling mojo!
Another outstanding presentation, Luke. You have taken, imo, what is arguably the finest representation of the P-38 in model form and taken it to the next level with those additional embellishments.
Very well done. 👍
Great build and great video. Love the paint etc callouts.
Looks fantastic. 👍👌
Genuinely incredible! Love the new video style. How did you do the chipping on the silver around the cockpit and drop tanks?
Awesome build. Great skills.
OMG that fitment 👍😀👍

Terrific result, well done! Love the subtle weathering. Don't those Tamiya P-38 kits just fall together?? Gold standard engineering...
Another great build Luke and it was nice to speak to you in Hannants the other weekend.
Hannants is just amazing and well worth the trip from the East Midlands.
Look forward to your next build.
Jason 🇬🇧
Another great build - you are on a roll 👍
The most enjoyable video yet. Fabulous build.
Hi Luke, I'd love for your next build to be the English Electric Lightning, now that is one iconic aircraft!
Keep up the great work. 👏🏻👏🏻
Super build really enjoyed watching thank you
Thank you very much sir!
Beautiful build Luke!
Thank you very much sir!
Done a beautiful job on the build looks amazing well done
What a way to improve your vids what a joy to watch
Great build Luke, I love a good Tamiya kit...
Great work and love the new info cards 👌🏻
Excellent build, explanation, and narration.
Stunning!
Thank you very much sir!
Outstanding build!
Stunning. How you get your models so good is beyond me. Keep up this excellent channel.
What do you do with all your models. Do you have them on show or dioramas?

Sick Allison Superchargers.
Great video..fantastic build.. you certainly have improved your ability..this plane looks absolutely stunning...not too much weathering perfect
Don't forget the Molotow chrome on the teardrop mirrors on the nacelles, these were for the pilot to ensure his main gear was extended or retracted.
Loved your build - subscribed! Thanks.
Wow, great work! ❤
A great looking P-38 build
Sweet! I also did 'lil Buckaroo' also!😊
Stunning looking build mate 👍
Cool, I have one in the stash. I didn't know about the 3d printed cockpit will try and track one down.
Beautiful lightning mate!
This P-38J is one sexy beast. Great build!!!!! Love it!!!!!
Hello Luke
Very good job and really good video. I like thenew paint ratio cards.
I must say and even if you cannot do nothing now at completed model that you missed to fill and sand a couple of panel lines on the booms. So, no medal for you 😂.
amazing looking cockpit.
great build,wish they would make a 32nd one
Thank you very much sir! Now that would be cool!
Superb. Great new format.
BEAUTIFUL JOB! Maybe one day my masking skills will be as neat as yours.
The ubiquitous P-38 drop tanks. Ever see the crazy post-war Bonneville racers made from these?
Excellent video. I wish I had the Tamiya and not the Revell 1/48.
absolutely beautiful
Nice choice!❤🎉
Thanks! 😊
Hi ya Luke, She looks so sweet and I like the new video format, and my Tamiya P38F/G is starting to stare me down so she may have to be next once I finish the Airfix B-25 which is on the bench.

Very nice. Seems to me your counter rotating props are set to turn inward, if my memory serves right, they both turned outward over the top. Front view: L prop turns counter clockwise and R prop turns clockwise.
Great build thanks for sharing ✌🏻🇨🇦✌🏻
You remembered the shipping tape stains.
Excellent video and a great kit.
Love this build this aircraft very impressive
Perfect build 🔥🔥🔥
Awesome job!
Outstanding!
Dobra robota, pozdrawiam.
Sweet Lightning.
The metallic shades pop when light hits them from different angles.
Beautiful. And without glue 😂😂
Fantastic job
Sweet bird.
amazing repaint ... metal look
Very nice result. Does the surface have a metallic sheen?
Excellent as always just wish you would have done her as “Marge” bong is my favorite pilot of all time and the entire reason I love aviation and flying as much as I do
Amazing build! Can i ask what airbrush and compressor your are using?
Kelly Johnson made the GOAT of all twin-boomers.
Beautiful build! Well done Sir. :)
The Allison V-1710's startup noises sound like the Millenium Falcon's hyperdrive taking the pi55 on Han and Chewie, lol...
With the panel wash how long do you leave it to dry before removing the excess? Thanks
Stunning build, I'm now going to have to explain to my wife why I 'have' to build this tamiya P38 😅
Kind of looks like Robin Olds' Scat IV scheme. He was a Lightning jockey, a Saber pilot, and most famously, an F-4C Phantom driver in Vietnam.
I reckon I'm going to have to give one of this a go.
🎉🎉
Thank you very much sir!
GREAT build as always Brother 👌 Feel Free to spend a little more time showing your Supercharger technique as yours are "Mint" 👍 -DETROIT

Nice🎉

Yes exactly!
Lovely build of a superb kit by Tamiya. Out of interest, with the panel line wash - how long did you leave it on before wiping it off?
thats very nice ,if you build it again buy the Eduard Rivet decals it will transform the final finish ,i have build two of them so far !

Ah yes, capillary action. Boxman is proud.
Hi when using the VMS varnish do you thin them or straight out of the bottle
