Welcome back… Tamiya’s P-38F/G – T minus 48 — My Forgotten Hobby VI
Day 256 Monday November 7, 2022 I am moving along with relative ease with this build. Well almost. I had forgotten that Tamiya extra thin cement was to be used cautiously because it’s very fluid. I used fine grit sanding sticks to solve that sticky problem. The fit is so good with this step that […]

Day 255
Sunday November 6, 2022
This is the last post on My Forgotten Hobby V.
Seriously?
I am very cautious now when I am reading the instructions. If I skip a step, I am sure I will be messing something up. In fact I did just that.
Step 6 posed no problem and the fit was excellent.
But in Step 7, I drilled all the holes! There should have been a cautionary note.
The weight was added and I glued only the front part of C28 with G23.
You will see what I mean later on My Forgotten Hobby VI.
Next time, T minus 48 on My Forgotten Hobby VI my upload limit having been reached.
