Title: P-38L 80th FG, 459th FS "Geronimo II"
Post by: oboe on December 15, 2007, 12:50:11 PM

Pretty much finished, unless you guys notice anything wrong.   Gotta step away from it and clear my mind.   I think it'll be great to have a olive drab '38L available.

Looks great, but perhaps you can fade the drab a bit... Make it look a bit more aged.. :D

Thanks, all.   She was submitted before Christmas.  I took Avaro's advice and tried to lighten up the paint as much as I could-- I found a Photoshop tutorial on fading paint and tried the technique it described.   Also added a lot more paint chips along the panel seams and changed the color of the fuel caps from red back to green.
