Oh, and I talked to one of my friends and he's going to help me paint it over break. He's into model railroading so he's got a lot of skill in that area. It should look pretty cool when we are done! I'm going to go for this paint scheme:

Oh man that looks sweet. I definitely don't have good painting skills so if I ever tried painting the p-38 it would probably turn out awful.

Anyone have the FT P-38 SBK, and haven't built it, yet? Can you measure the alignment marks on part #5, as shown in the image please?
I'd like to verify the TE mark location, and add the LE mark location to the plans, so I can cut the parts, and build.
Great big THANK YOU, in advance!
((( EDIT: The LE marks are missing on the SBK, also. Well, poop. )))

I don’t have the sbk but I just marked those marks half way in between on my foam board.

I’m having a lot more fun than I thought I would with cutting the parts out. Usually I find this part boring but this is actually fun. I’ll have to do more master series! I know you said you e done the Corsair - have you built the P-47?
Super jealous! I just finished the P-47

Have you built it yet?
No progress since I last posted. I just lost interest once there was no hope of snow. Flying a sea plane off the grass is ok, but that’s why I have the bushwacker. I’d rather have the servos in something else that I would fly more. Once there is a decent amount of snow in the forecast, I’ll get it done!

Ok I totally understand if I didn't have a pond I probably wouldn't have finished it

Closest lake we go to is like an hour away and we go there several times in the summer. Last time I tried my cub on floats and it didn’t go well. I realized after I ruined my esc that my wing was shifted over an inch or two... I should have better luck next time!
