Keep up the good work guys!
My Uncle was an USAF Col when he retired, but flew these over the Hump as 2nd Lt in WW2. He said he would never forget the smell. Think a bunch of Chinese troops who have never flow and not enough barf bags to go around - YUCK!
Salute!

The Chinese character on the starboard of vertical stabilizer is mirrored. It's not a logo or symbol but the character "post" as in postal service.

Warpaint complete on the F/G. Stencils in place. Just needs decals and unit doodads. Working on the J and an aluminum skin for the L. All the gadgets work. The Flight Model is a little rough but I will send it off to Mike shortly and it will irritate the hell out of him so he will fix it.

The prettiest 38 was the first, the XP. But I don't suppose there would be any reason to model it

Don't give me a P-38 with props that counter-rotate
They'll loop, roll and spin but they'll soon auger in
Don't give me a P-38!
Just give me Operations
Way out on some lonely atoll
For I am too young to die
I just want to go home.

Finishing touches on the L. Testing Dive Flap deployment and retraction  The pics don't really show how realistic the metal is in-game.     But a couple more tests and she will be done.

That is a really nice rendition of one of my favorte airplanes of all time. What does the cockpit look like?

The Corsair is my other favorite WWII fighter!
All the Mustang fanbois can have the P51, I'll take a Lightning or Corsair any day!

Next into the paint shop...   People keep saying that WWII "has been done" but it hasn't. It will be.

"1 viewer"--looks like well over 2500 views just on the New Plane pages (I check every day).
These 4 planes are more than nice-they are works of art and I look forward to their release.
Sounds like the final YAP set will have something interesting happening too.
