WOW! You really have a lot of talent. I was especially impressed with your incredible painting skills and making the P38 look so darn authentic! EXCELLENT JOB!
Why do you need commentary. His technique speaks for itself. His subtitles explain what needs to be explained. That being said I used to build model air planes as a 12-14yo kid in the early 70s and the kits from then pale compared to today’s kits. I would say that the video I just watched is a master class in model building. Your attention to detail is a joy to watch. Thank you.
Magnificent rendition of my favorite WWII fighter, the detail is superb. For those who don't know, "Miss Virginia" was the plane flown by Lt. Rex Barber that on 18 April 1943 shot down the Japanese "Betty" bomber carrying Admiral Yamamoto, the man who planned the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Most interesting! I remember as a youth reading about this truly astounding event! Thank you for the refresher. Build one of these kits, then a Tamiya kit in 1:48th scale of the Mitsubishi Type 11 Isshikkirikko (Betty) Japanese Air Force Medium Bomber (61049). Please tell us about such a project. I strongly recommend motorising the engines and including in both the appropriate personnel. One can design the two stands and the electric wiring conduit in a manner that keeps them out of view from the front. Look up the term "Chapman crane" from motion picture production, and adapt it to this purpose.

I've never seen a P-38 put together before because I found the plane uninteresting (honestly)! This and you (and Tamiya) have changed my mind. Such skill in bringing it to life. Thank you.
I used to build the Tamiya tank kits when I was a kid in the 70's..they were amazing, especially if you took your time building them..great job..I might get back into building models after watching this
Same here, in fact a pal of mine Brad Schlaar's father Ed worked as an illustrator for Tamiya so he got all kinds of armor kits from the company. I used to be so jealous of his enormous dioramas of German armor.
Being stuck in bed with Covid despite being boosted and jabbed …your videos have been a great source of inspiration and relief from feeling sorry for myself :-)
Incredible Job!!! So realistic...I wish I had these TH-cam videos when I was making them back in the 1070's Thanks to you I would have been a BEAST!!!!!
An absolutely super build and as for the extra detailing you have carried out throughout the build its self. Well it really has lifted this model to another dimension. A fantastic video which is both informative and extremely helpful to anyone just starting out with modeling as well as those people who are seasoned professionals alike. Highly recommended to anyone interested in modeling.
Watching this made me realize that I have a long way to go to become great at modeling. I did pick up a few new tricks though! Well done! Love the build!
Great looking p-38! I stopped working on plastic models. I'm building the 1:33 Wak paper model, which will keep me busy for the next 3-4 months. The good thing is you don't need to do all the chemical stuff, i don't miss the painting so much. Its another hobby really. But more family friendly 😄
I'm like your atention for the detail.I'm very pleased to notice even your gloves are black which act like an camouflage and that way, which not disturb the focus point of the model.
Absolutely exquisite! I can only marvel at your skill, in my younger days I was a keen modeller (but never got within an asse's roar of your skill) These days I am afflicted by very shakey hands and eat with a spoon, so I can only envy your skill👍
Fantastic detail! Gorgeous paint! This model belongs in a diorama! I am an armor modeler who has be dormant since 1989. I'm just coming back to modeling and I would like to do an aircraft. My uncle Frank flew P-38s in the South Pacific in WWII. I am putting this kit on the buy list and starting my research to make an diorama to depict his service. Thank you for the spark that ignited an idea that may bloom into a real project. Keep the videos coming. Regards, Ed
Great kit. I built it and I loved it. My favorite airplane books: - Topgun by Dan Pederson - F-4 Phantom: A Pilot's Story by Robert Prest - Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson
My late grandpa (dad's side) was a P-38 pilot. It's a shame, this style of airplane isn't talked about, much. Very nicely done, model, by the way. It's kind of mesmerizing, watching these get assembled.
For sure this is amazing model building! It’s way beyond your average model builder, though. These techniques can’t be done by every day people. Practice beyond practice. Awesome video!!!
This is easily the best, most realistic build of a P-38 I've seen! Incredibly well done. I think it would be helpful if, in the video notes, you listed all the products (paints, tools, etc.) you used. I'm personally just getting back into scale modeling after.... a lot.... of years away from it, and having a list of paints & tools would be helpful. Keep up the awesome work and videos!!
Thank you! Good luck with getting back into it. When I get a chance I'll add these to the description. The vast majority of paints/ materials and some tools are listed in the top right as I build the model. Cheers. Andy
I’m with you, my brother and I are just starting to get back into modeling and boy have things changed! I am astounded at how much detail are ion the models and the extra detail kits that be purchased. I am learning so much by watching these videos that when I finally get everything together I start mine around December or January.
Very nice job. Appreciate your fixing the ammo and gun bay doors support. I like 1/48 and 1/32. can't see 1/72, too old. You have a good description of the turbo painting, results are outstanding. Subbed and bell for next. Thanks for posting. Music quite well done both volume and content.
By chance, I came across your channel....my lucky day! Terrific job all round culminating in a beautifully finished model. Will be checking out your other build 👍
GREAT build of a fantastic plane. It so well shows the quality of Tamiya. Love the Eduard add ons. Watching this, beats any episide of "The Voice" or the like. Big thumbs up and greetings from Holland.
Ever since I was a kid, I always had a problem with p 38bkits being VERY tail heavy. For a 1/32 build, I remember my dad putting a penny inside the nose. Solved the problem. Anything small with a bit of weight but not too heavy will do.
I got this model for my 15th birthday and it was a great model. I’ve only been building models for 2 years now and the p38 is the best model I have done, it’s not as good as yours though
man i would love to have you build one of my models that's been sitting for years cause idk what i'm doing. Thank you so much for sharing and teaching.
Beautiful job. I noticed the White 33 was another option. That plane was buried in New Guinea and recovered in the 90's. It is now flying and is at the Museaum of WWII Aviation here in Colorado Springs CO.
Fantastic build. I’ve been getting back into this great hobby now for the past few months and have watched quite a few different videos to learn various techniques. Yours is by far the best and most informative. It would be terrific if you could do a voice over as you build. Thanks once again Andy.
You never realize how entertaining it can be to watch someone being creative until you find yourself watching it for a while.
WOW! You really have a lot of talent. I was especially impressed with your incredible painting skills and making the P38 look so darn authentic! EXCELLENT JOB!
Probably the best P-38 build I've ever seen. Museum quality imo.
Wow...thank you!

This channel is recommended for saints who want to learn patience, and fine building and editing skills.
I've been modeling airplanes for the last 8 years and watching your videos is so inspiring I still learn new tricks thank you for the videos

I've never seen such real looking rust on plastic before. Kudos.
Fantastic work. Excellent video. Love the close ups. You have a fan!!

Your p-38 is beautiful. The weathering is amazing.
Your channel is a gem. I hope to see a lot of future content!
Also my favourite US war bird . Great model skills. I hope we see more of your work 👍
Wow. Brought back memories of my father building models.

The cockpit alone is a work of art!
Another stunning model and a fabulous video 👏👏👏
I know it's a Tamiya kit, so the fit is always going to be good, but your finished model is definitely on the high side of excellent. Subbed
Unbelievable build...Impressive... You win my award... WOW!!!!
Outstanding video of building the superb kit!
GREAT build of a fantastic plane.
It so well shows the quality of Tamiya. Love the Eduard add ons.

Excellent detail in the cockpit
Beautiful, beautiful job!
the words are missing, it's an incredible amazing job you did

Two words : SIMPLY GREAT !! 👍🔝😀
Thank you.
man i would love to have you build one of my models that's been sitting for years cause idk what i'm doing. Thank you so much for sharing and teaching.
learned something new. it's easier to lay down the yellow tips on the propeller first then doing the black portions!
Beautiful job. I noticed the White 33 was another option. That plane was buried in New Guinea and recovered in the 90's. It is now flying and is at the Museaum of WWII Aviation here in Colorado Springs CO.
You did a great job!
I just opened plastic on the "J" version of this.
Absolutely Fabulous job !
Fantastic build. I’ve been getting back into this great hobby now for the past few months and have watched quite a few different videos to learn various techniques. Yours is by far the best and most informative. It would be terrific if you could do a voice over as you build. Thanks once again Andy.
Thank you Graeme, all my videos after this one have a voice over. Glad you like the videos and thanks for watching.
Excellent work.
Those superchargers... just amazing.
Absolutely stunning work.
Ganz tolle Leistung Wahnsinn einfach klasse.
AWESOME Plane 🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾.....very detailed 👏👏🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾
Very exacting work. Well done.
Hands of a surgeon... thank you for a very enjoyable video!
Clear, clean and well done build. I really like.
Nice to see your next build, especially because the quality of video and editing is outstanding for such a young channel. Definitely worth the sub.
Thank you.
