One model per (non-working) day

The first time I saw the prototype Hercules without the radar pod, it looked so strange. Having always seen the later versions.

I did some more variants of the same theme.
I even tried a haze blue scheme without guarantee that it will come out any good on my (or any other) printer.

Oh, I had forgotten about the nightfighter P-38!

Legend sais that it was very uncomfortable for the radar operator, almost like a belly turret in the B-17!

And thank you for the early version of the Hercules.

And thank you for the fan service, the profiles are really nice.

Awesome P-38's Bruno. Big thanks.

Is #2423 Bong's P-38?

Sure looks like Marge ssn ends 993

Indeed, Marge. At least one of the liveries I found.
The other one is from Thomas B. McGuire, Jr

The thing I absolutely LOVE about paper modelling is the fact you seem to be able to build nearly ALL the versions of those long forgotten plastics that you had on your 'to do' list.
The Matchbox kit had Mcguire's 'Pudgy' as an option and the Revell/Monogram kit had the P-38M option. Had a single example of both these kits and was never able to acquire (at least at a decent price) a second of either.

The Philippine Air Force C-130T was a request from Marbucu. I first did it back in january, I think, but went through a lot of changes in august, including the revised cockpit windows arrangement. The camo scheme is the same as the one used on USMC/US Navy C-130Ts.

That was indeed the frustrating thing about pl@$t!(c). You only had one model, one try, one livery, one set of decals to choose... and one drop for the model to get destroyed.

Here some more versions:
