Guillows P-38 Lightning

Current progress…the fuselage is joined to the wings. And the panels on the sides of the fuselage were made to fill it in using the wing profile. Then a little putty and sanding. So far it’s looking like it’s going to be smooth.
Next I will start covering the motor nacelles, which are long and narrow! Then I can cover the horizontal stabilizer and the two tails.

That looks great, Dean. Always a joyful moment when you can (dry) fit some parts together.
Regards, Peter

She's huge! How are you selling that to your Admiral, or, on this case, PIC?

Yes, it’s over 40” (1016mm) wing span at 1/16 scale!
I have a room that is my man cave, it has all of my models and music equipment. It also serves as my home office. So I have a work desk, a hobby desk, my granddaughters hobby desk, amplifiers and guitars, shelves for my models, models, and a full closet of misc hobby stuff!
As long as it doesn’t leave my man cave, the Admiral doesn’t care. I am running out of room, so it will most likely be hung from the ceiling…away from the ceiling fan! ROTF
 
...so, you are an Ibanez guy? Great collection, and cozy Man cave, Mio Amigo. But...you need a separate sheepyard or planes plant, for sure ;)
Thanks Jimsky. Yes, Ibanez is my favorite guitar manufacturer, but only the ones made in Japan. The luthiers are some of the best in the business. So I prefer the Ibanez J Custom, made in the custom shop. They are not standard production guitars and are made in limited quantities. The materials and electronics are top notch, and the tree of life inlay on the fretboard is a work of art! ;)
And yes I need another room…shhhhh…quiet…don’t let the Admiral hear! ROTF
