Good!! Any P-38 scale model is not easy to be built it. You need clamps and a lof of patience to align it at all.

See you

Weight add into the nose and then nose is closed and engines get front cover. Due to the shape perfections, last step was overcoat of the liquid filler and then standard filler. Now I wait this to dry and give strong sanding push and I will need to use very 'heavy' grain in first sanding steps.

Thank you friends :-ok In the meantime it is sanded and next step is to draw with pencil all panels lines and scribe them again.
